Hey,

For a while, I have had this algae, i’ve always assumed it’s diatoms but after countless water changes it still won’t shift, the lighting seems fine.

When I clean my sandbed, it sticks together like slime and has strings coming from it. It appears red with the blue lights on (i can see the bubble algae on my yuma plug) I also need help with that, it’s only on that plug...

I have attached photos

Definitely bubble algae in the second pic. The other looks like hair algae and diatoms. What’s your are your nitrates at?
