over the last few weeks, I've had sudden appearances of new STUFF growing in my tank and I am pretty sure they are PROBLEMS

any help identifying this stuff and how to get rid of it would be MUCH appreciated

I'm no expert, but the first and last pics look like regular green hair algae. The middle pics look like bryopsis which was much worse for me:( Not hard to get rid of, am ke sure you use RO/DI water with 0 TDS, get a good clean up crew, increase flow, clean filter pads and skimmer, use GFO, and keep up with water changes. Sounds like a lot, but it's worth it!!! Bryopsis is tough, but I had luck with manual removal, raising magnesium with Tech M, and a peroxide dip for some rock areas. Good luck!!
 
Control your phosphate with Bio pellet and GFO or dosing Carbon...Change water more often and buy some turbo snail will help a lot.
 
Yea kent tech m only thing that worked for my on bryopsis. That dino fligates water changes ive only seen it new tanks and my fuge once or twice. Maybe to heavy of bioload? Causeing phosphates
