It about a 1/4 of an inch thick mostly on the dark side of my live rock. It is clear and looks like hair algae but very small. My tank is a 125g with 100lbs of live rock. It's the BRS dry rock Which I cured for 3months and cycled to establish BB. Before placing it in this tank. The tank has been up for 3 months. I just finish a moderate diatom bloom. Which has cleared.. I do 14g waterchange every other weekend. I use ro/di for changes and fresh water top off.
My water parameters are stable
My numbers for what I test are
Ph is 8.0
Kh is 9
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate less than 5
Phosphate undetectable with my test
Temp 78
Sg 1.023
I haven't been able to Id it and don't know if it's something to worry about... What is it? Good /bad? How to get rid of it or will it go away on its own. Any help would be awesome

I thought about that. But since it was mostly in the dark areas and is clear that maybe it was something else. Thanks
