It looks like you have cyanobactera and green hair algea growing and they are "normal" stages of a maturing tank and they should clear up up on their own if you maintain good water quality. bwt in that last pic I see what looks aiptesia(spelling?) anemone among gsp and you should get rid of it asap because its going to overrun your tank and sting corals.

What about the green stuff in pic 3?

I keep trying to get that algae out of the soft coral but its a real fighter. I put it at the bottom of the tank to separate it from the other coral.

I won't worry about the rest and let it do its thing. I am sure it will help when I get the RO/DI kit.
