I’m not sure if this is hair algae or bryprosis algae . I’ve tried so many things on it all my readings are fine but this stuff is waving all over my tank then I tried Chen clean and the red algae started coming out is that a good thing or bad thing?

The green stuff is likely hair algae. If it is more “fern like” it could be bryopsis. I believe bryopsis tends to be darker and more bushy than that. It could also be green turf algae. Hard to tell by the pics.
