ok after reading which i should have done first lol this could be caused by the move you did, with the high number of nitrates and high phos i would imagine it is the cause .
are you running anything for phosphates?? nitrates arnt horrible but could come down some for sure  depending on what your livestock is a blackout could get you a quick fix while you attack nutrients

Yeah, common sense tells me its the move too. Due to the corals I have, a black out isnt favorable, but I will look into a phosphate remover. thank you

you could look innto a product called phosdown or just add some gfo in a reactor, pull the new gfo after a week or 2 then add new gfo , this will knock down alot of your phos and the new gfo will keep it knocked down good luck

You have several different algae in there. The general diagnosis is always the same...reduce nutrients. Depending on exact types of algae there are some tricks to help out.
What test kit are you using to determine nitrate and phosphate? When you moved the tank did you reuse the sand or did you install a new sand bed?
