Tank is a few months old, doing great so far. This algae really started taking over in the past 2 weeks. Try to brush it off but doesn’t do anything. It’s taking over the back wall of the tank as well.

Looks like cyanobacteria. Still see what experts say. U hv to increase flow and that's all if tank is new it will go. U can use chemiclean
 
dont look like algae to me. Is it red like red velvet? does it blow off in sheets? if yes, it is cyano. cyanobacteria is a bacteria not algae.
