    Bubble algae (valonia).

    It might go away. Or Emerald crabs sometimes eat them.

    Wow that's great. Proves that dark growth does remove lots of nutrients. The growth should start getting more green as nutrients get less.

    Run the lights more hours if you can.

    Yes those work good, and you can drive them at 0.5 or 0.6 amps.

    Yes try 22 hours.

    More light will grow brighter green, which should filter more.

    Yes an algae scrubber filter can support tangs, and any other fish, coral, snail, or other animal. Algae does all the filtering in the ocean and reefs and lakes. All of it. You just need to have enough scrubber filtering.

    Once yours is growing well, you can probably have 4 medium tangs.
