Some of the lighter green algae does look like Ulva(sea lettuce), I’m not sure what the other stuff is. The bubbles lead me to believe it’s cyano or dinos of some sort right?

definitely ulva LACTUCA, & a non descript brown hair, probably cyano too.
Looks like a new setup. No corals ? lights out, no dosing trace elements if doing, water changes to keep inorganic nutrients low. If planning to, don't add anymore rock for the time being, & no corals till the problems solved.

Looks like a combination of cyano, green algae, and possible dinos. The brown slimy algae does is it have small air bubble attached?
