Great, I cant even grow a good crop of hair algae! haha, I have proved my skill at that in the past, I will considered it mastered . I am thinking maybe the beginning of diatoms, as there seems to be a couple bubble looking things. It seems to be one thing after the other!!! Do these algae cycles go away as the tank matures, or is it just a constant fight till you have your water params in good order?

Even experienced reefers struggle at times with things like cyanobacteria and diatoms. However, because things seem to be less stable in a newer tank, these seem to be more common.

I have never battled diatoms, so perhaps some others can chime in with advice/suggestions....if that is, indeed, what it is.
