Algea problems help!

So heres the deal, had this tank for about 9 months, sometimes get little algea problems that eventually go away. But for the 3 weeks i've been having algea that i cant get rid of. I dont even know what kind of algea it is. Was hoping you guys could tell me what algea i have, and how to kill it.
Its wreaking havoc on my corals and gobie.

Dont have a phosphate tester (getting 1 today) but used phosgaurd anyways.

nitrates 5.0
nitrites 0.1
ph 8.0

my lights are on like 8 hours a day or so..

Also used some other stuff to lower my nitrates.. and do 30-50% water changes often..

Also scrubed my rocks down multiple times..

heres some pictures.

Thank you!!

 

Checked my phosphates. Between 1-3 ppm. too much??
How do i get it down even more. Killed an entire thing of phosguard and do water changes with distilled water only..

hair or turf algae maybe, if it looks like a feather it might be bryopsis

 

a refugium full of chaetomorpha might go along way and save you some money on phosban

 

Doesnt look like a feather..
Thank you

Looks like it may be a combo of both species.

 

If you dont mind what exactly is that?? and where do i find it??

 

a refugium, is a space where fish cant get too, so its a refuge for inverts like copepods. the copepods will live and breed in there and some will go into the main tank and fish will eat them.

you want it because people grow macro algae in them. the macro algae sucks up nutrients that small algae will use to grow in your tank. macro means big, so its basically a plant. and once the fuge fill up of it you take out half or 1/3 and through it away or sell it. thus removing excess nutrients from you tank

basically its a small saltwater plant tank. either hang on the back, intank, or seperate

http://www.reefcleaners.org/ sells it

 

That would be great, but i'de probly have a hard time doing that.. I looked it up on google and cant find anything small enough for my tank. Its a 34 gallon red sea max self contained tank. So everything protien skimmer filters, media, and jets are all built into it, and it has a hood that's not removable..

 

you could just put some in your tank, if you don't mind it being there
