most of my algae disappeared on me when i started to dose a source of carbon into my tank (vodka,sugar,vinegar) except for one type which i dont know what it is...its red and looks like hair algae.

i would do a combination of manual removal/using animals/ dosing carbon to let the bacteria take up the NO3 and PO4

That pic looks like a Sundial Turbo which should eat the same as a Reg Turbo

Did you use Vodka, Sugar and Vinegar mixed or is it one or the other? BTW, my turbos eat the red stuff that looks like hair algae.
