Need major help! Algae attack!

I have a 90 gallon reef and when we got our live rock some of it had bubble algae on it but i do not believe that is what started this. A couple weeks in we started getting the brown cycle algae then what i think was green hair algae started growning. We did a water change and did a black out for 3 days which i did not like doing because i have coral. I think that most of its dead bc its floating to the surface but there is so much and i dont know how to get rid of it. Here are some pictures.

PLEASEN HELP!
