tank is 2 months, flow is no issue (1100gph), bulbs have maybe month and a half on them, possibly overfeeding, I'm going to reduce feed amount by half, other than that it looks alot like hair algae......It was red when I pulled it all out, but like I said, no slime, no snot, just the fibers.....I'm doing a 2 day lights out aswell to reduce it (worked when I had diatoms during cycle)....Fuge is staying lit...
