Probably dinoflagellate algae guessing by the bubbles...
Could be diatoms or cyano also.
Turbo snails if it is dinos I believe..
Also 20 or even 10 is pretty high PO4 for reef tanks .. Ideal is .03-.07 with many liking .05 depending what corals they keep...
GFO will be your fastest method to remove PO4 safely.

you shouldn't have any Nitrites
I see a few frags in the tank they shouldn't be there till your cycled
concentrate on cycling your tank than worry about algae

I think op probably meant 20 nitrates and 0 nitrites. Also lights 13 feet above the tank may not be the best :p! I agree with coral, possible dinos.
