Is this a new tank? The brown looks like diatoms...normal...flow and critters will belp that
the green hard for me to tell.....if it has feathery leaves it could be bryopsis (pain in the butt) if not it could just be regular old hair algae....
tell us about your tank....age....type...filtration....any occupants
p.s. In my opinion 85 is a little warm...try to get the tank to 80

The green in the last pick. Some peeps call it green coralline. I always get it just before the real coralline comes in. I think it's some sort of boring algae (boring as in drilling).

That lime green color is coralline algae and should turn pink/purple within week or so. Its a good thing
