You have cyanobacteria. It's part of the algae cycle as your tank matures. It will stay as long as your filtration system is still inmature/inadequate due to too much nutrients in your water still unprocessed/removed.

A very good skimmer will help alot.

Frequent water changes may be necessary to export out high levels of dissolved organics or the usage of macroalgae in your refugium that absorbs nutrients to be harvested out.

Don't add any more bioload, cut down on feeding. Reduce your photoperiod. They all help.

Do a search on SRC... we have covered this before.
