Started to have some algae issues and when I came back from 6 day vacation it has progressed. Did not have anyone feeding tank while I was gone and recent ICP test has:
po4 .08
No3 8.42
Some indirect light might have been coming in through blinds of a nearby window.

Green organism could be cyanobacteria. The brown strings diatoms or dinoflagellates.

I've been keeping the blinds closed but there are three windows that might be providing too much indirect light.
