Reddish algae growing on Chaeto

Thanks for the input guys. I just asked him to do one of those things

such a shame about how invasive cyano is, if you could convince it to only grow where you wanted it it's a fantastic scavenger of nutrients. But tiny little bits of it always find their way to places you don't want them.

Back in town now, I guess my sitter didn't get the emails so it was still growing on top. The skimmer was a little plugged up with chaeto bits and barely bubbling so that could've been the reason it got worse than normal. Nitrates and phosphates creeped up a little due to lack of WCs and dirty socks
None ended up in the display thankfully. Did a 20% WC and rinsed the chaeto in the old water and threw the top half away, all good.

my last outbreak was ONLY on my chaeto in my fuge. I rinsed the huge ball off and turned 3 buckets from my water change neon red in the process. Chaeto ent back in clean as a whistle and It totally vanished (for now).
