hey man its just part of the cycle, you have to leave it for a month or even 2 just to build up your bacterias and other goodies. once all your parameters are right and nitrates and phosphates are undetectable then you the algea should go as well. can't rush these things, make sure your using distilled water during water changes (should do a 10% every week, even if theres nothing in the tank except for liverock and sand)

Can I have some advice on what I should do?

I am thinking pulling this rock out and buying some cured LR from red coral instead. I only spent $40 on this rock and am willing to eat the cost if it means avoiding GHA in my new tank

Someone give me some guidance please!
