I have a 60 gallon freshwater aquarium with a large red algae problem. I can clean it and in about 2 months its back. I have two 24W 10,000K bulbs on the tank, two aquaclear 70 filters, and two powerheads in the back corners to help with water movement. Also i always fill the aquarium with RO water and then add additives such as freshwater electrolyte salt, and black water extract.

I would just like some opinions on what type of algae this is and how i can eliminate it and prevent it. I will include some pictures.
