Is it algae? - pictures included
I have this stuff growing on some of my rocks. It is a dark red in color and it looks stringy. It is not a fuzz. Is it algae? Does anyone have a web page that shows different types of algae's and how to find the source and combat them?
Thanks, Walter

You should be able to identify it here:

Sounds like Red Algae to me.. I have had it in the past, I used Red Slime Remover to clear it up.

It was just called Red Slime Remover.. (I will check when i get home for sure)
I got it from Big Al's its pricey stuff $25 or something like that. I will do doing another dose Sat Morning, then start water changes.. It does a number on your skimmer though ( mine is off right now) Jim

yeh i 've got the same in my tank, i cover parts of it over for one day with shells or something, then either remove the shell and clean or if its not covered just move it to a dif location. this seems to kill it although how effective long term is another question.
