I have the strange photosynthetic brown algae that seems to be appearing the growing starting from a dot and now encrusting over all my rocks where the light is most potent. Also have this mucus filmy like substance that is growing on everything and is clogging my filters within three days. Anybody have any help or ideas and how I should move forward

I think in the first picture I can see some bubble algae, that would be best to take out. Looks like your tank is really new and you might just be experiencing the uglies part of your cycling and maturing process. Would keep the lights off as much as possible (seen you have some corals). And see what it does :)
