As for algae, it's typical in a new tank to get diatom blooms. It should go away. Stringy algae either means too high light or nutrients or not enough filtration. Pictures would help. You will get it also on new wood that is constantly wet and it will dissipate.

As for feeding and the pictures, I do it every other day.

This stuff seems to never come off, any suggestions? This is a used tank, I cleaned it to the bone. Looked like it sat in someones attic for awhile, had cobwebs and everything. I resealed it.
