what kind of algae?

[settles4]

This has been growing strong in our tank the last week and a half or so. It is light greenish in color and the long wisps look almost black when they are long enough to wave in the current. It's full of bubbles, but I think that is from micro bubbles getting stuck to it and accumulating to make larger bubbles. We have been sucking it off the rocks (twice now) during water changes, the last time just finished. It came back pretty good after the first cleaning. Is it a slime algae, hair, bubble? Will check water and post in a bit but nitrates were at 5 just 3 days ago. Help?

The water parameters are now 8.4 for PH and 0 for AM, trites, and trates. Salinity is a bit above .025 That's high for PH I know, how do I get it down?

Nothing wrong with the ph at 8.4

Forgot to mention, also have corals including a waving hands, a Zoanthus, a mushroom and a plate.
