Cyano, dinos and Hair algae oh my!

So I have all 3 going on at once. Red Cyano, brown dinos, and green hair algae. 

 

Now, I read the dinos are from no nutrients, and the hair algae is from high nutrients. So not sure how I would have both. I also have a very high amount of flow.  

 

Below are pics of my phosphate and nitrate parameters since I started seeing signs and began testing. I have had the same amount of food given every day for the past 6 months. 

 

None of them are really bad, but are steadily becoming worse433231508_Screenshot_20210726-201930_AquariumNote.thumb.jpg.ecba749aaa5f4b61ba77c7f0b98a0678.jpg1297595094_Screenshot_20210726-201924_AquariumNote.thumb.jpg.d4f2079bf72133f12569fc91ccbc6a28.jpg20210722_195222.thumb.jpg.66032785fc72853527b344d39d7ad2cb.jpg20210723_170356.thumb.jpg.e98b5f1677d64103ae96e244eee35512.jpg

 

Any ideas?

No. I am not familiar with the shake test or what they look like under a microscope. Just previous experience with them. I am not sure at this point. It is not a severe case like I had before and it's kind of tough to tell what exactly I do have. Here is a couple pics I took this afternoon.

 

The brown sections with the bubbles looked like the dinos I had before, and you can see sections that look like red slime algae. Kind of frustrating when I have a tank almost a year old with fairly stable parameters, and no change in feeding or light schedule in over 6 months.
