I have a relatively new tank (about two months old) that was set up with dry rock. The tank's parameters were reading 0.01 PO4 and 5PPM NO3. About 5 days ago, I woke up to the start of a massive algae outbreak. At first I thought it was some Diatoms with a little bit of hair algae mixed in, but it has since begun a hostile takeover. I have been giving the tank a blackout for the past 24 hours, and tonight I had a nice "scrape and net" session for about an hour. Once finished I switched the light off again. It does not appear to be holding air bubbles as I've read Dino typically does, but I was hoping someone with a little more experience could provide some opinions on what I'm dealing with. Pictures below.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
