I had an 80% breakout of red fuzzy algae in my 100 gal tank. I used Instant Ocean's Nitrate Reducer with pretty good success. I still have a little of it but I can't scrub it off the rocks. I have to let the IO NR do it's thing - at a double dose. It took a year. When it dies, it turns orange and then I can toothbrush it off.

At that point I had PO4 spike and used FozDown to reduce it. I think a combination of methods would be best.

Using IONR puts the micro beads into the rocks where nitrates like to hang out, raise big families and grow luxurious gardens.
