      How do I kill this?

      I have had a very strange outbreak of fluffy red algae. It is NOT cyano. It is spreading on my rocks and everywhere. How do I kill/control/eradicate this? I can send you a picture if that helps.

      Seems the same. Pacific Turbos were recommended. No other critters seem to eat it. Suggestions?

      What are your parameters?
      Light type used snd schedule?

      Maybe a larger than average water change + gfo+turbos

      Parameters are on the money. I have all LEDs, they are on 9 hours a day. I have a fuge, but it has no macro in it yet.
