Hi, I have a new tank 10 gal tank fully cycled. In the past few days it seems that there has been a out break of red color algie I'm assuming. Not sure if this is ok, good or bad. Your advice would be much appriciated!
 
Algae is typically a sign of excess nutrients. I suppose cutting back on your photo period and feedings will help. Also what kind of water are you using? Ro/di? This will make a difference as well
