Hi. After battling and winning the war against green hair algae, I've come across another problem....
Red hair algae!!!!
It's much much tougher than the 'nicer' green stuff, and that's saying something!
Firstly, is it common? How do I fight it? I've recently changed both my light tubes to combat any unwanted light that it may be feeding on.
Secondly, this has happened twice now...
A Mexican turbo snail takes a liking to it on a certain reddish rock. Then you can see the snail slowing down. Eventually it dies. As I say, twice this has happened. It could be a coincidence but could it be poisonous?
Thanks for your expert knowledge!!
