Hello all,
As you can see from the pictures (I know they aren't great, but it's the best I could get) I have been developing what appears to be a reddish tint algae. I started this problem about 2 months ago and some otos did the trick for me but now they stopped eating it and it's getting out of hand. Every Red or brown algae I've looked up doesn't really match the image. The algae isn't on my sand, it's mainly on the glass, plants, and the filter. I would appreciate any help in identifying this algae and how to nip it in the butt. The only thing I can think of that I'm doing wrong is leaving my light on too long per day (about 15 hours)
