Updated pics of unidentified algae, please help
Still can't ID this stuff, previous post no one could help cause the pic wasn't close enough. I know I have a bit of green algae, not talking about that. Its the dark brown, looks like feces on my rocks and back glass. Not diatoms, I've had those and still have a tad here and there on equipment but most everything is gone as I did a 2 hr tank scrub last night (overflowed skimmer twice -_-) Please help, its only on the rocks as of this morning and its really dragging down my tank.

Are you sure it's not black sponge?

looks like how red turf algae starts but looks a lot darker than what I have seen before.

The dark color is what's really throwing me off as well. I'm going to take a toothbrush to it tomorrow and do another 10% water change as well (did one last night)
