Looking for an algae guide..

Now that my tank has been set up a couple weeks, I'm now getting some algae growth. Some is pink, some green, some maroon. Is there somewhere I can go to get pics, identify what I have, and find out how to treat them?

Many are circumtropical, but I am sure other field guides exist so search the internet

This sounds like coralline. If its hard and flat im sure it is. Do a google search on coralline then look at images. You dont want to get rid or will never be able to remove it all. I can say you will need a razor blade to remove from the areas of glass that you view from.This might help.GL..

I use this site:

It has pics and can get you in the general direction.
