The water change should help but temps really don't matter. What are your water perameters? Check phosphates yet?

You've been asked several times how long your lights are on for during the day, but you have yet to answer.
No not yet I need to get a test kit. Last time I checked though every thing was good. Just my pH was a little high

Whoops sorry, didn't mean to skip out on the question I have one rosette and one 6k like turn on at 9:30am and then hve the other pair or rosette and 6k turn on at 10:10am. Then the 10:10am pair of lights turn off at 5:30pm and the 9:30am pair of lights turn off at 7:00pm. Then I have blue LEDs come on at 7:10 pm to about 7:00 am.

Looks like blue green algae. Usually forms in low flow areas of the tank.
Your lights aren't on too long, but the blue LED's may cause algae growth depending on how powerful they are.

I'd say 10 hours is too long for lights and then blues on all night. I would cut the blue "night light" out all together and I would cut the other lights to only 6-7 hours. See if that slows or stops the algae growth. Also cut down on feeding.

Oooh that looks neat. If that's green algae (good algae), then that's nice.
If that's blue-green algae (bad cyanobacteria) then that sucks for you.
