Default Re: Red hair Algae?

sounds like cyanobacteria aka red slime. Are you using tap water? what are the phosphates and nitrates. Scrap and syphon as mush as you can. Adjust your powerheads for adequate flow, stop using tap water if that is the case, dont over feed. Try those things and see if that helps.
