Help! Red and bubbly

[Rmxjr67]

So I'm boarder line freakout here. I have not had too many algea concerns with my tank history. It is less than a year old and the only thing I've had is a little brown hair from over feeding and inadequate flow across the substrate. That being said this has me highly worried it is a vibrant red encrusting algea with strands protruding from it along with what looks like the start of shiney almost oil/metallic bubbles. What could have caused this how do I destroy it and keep it away please for th

Looks like cyano. Does it blow off with a turkey blaster? What’s your parameters?

Best way to get this trash out of my life???

Beginning of cyano. Reduce white lights a little, increase water flow especially towards sandbed without the flow stirring the sand and reduce amount of feeding quantity.
keep an eye on phosphates. Are you using tap or well water by chance?

No way.. rodi dosed with Cal. And trace for top off and I buy my saltwater for changes from my lfs same source from day one

My whites are only at like 16% but I will definitely give it a shot and aim my constant powerhead down more I have both blasting into the center one on each side wave pump directly into return pump flow. The constant flow pump is point downward at the birdnest in the center but I'ma give it some more tilt towards the bottom and up the current strength one notch on the wave maker

You’re corals look happy so I would not mess with your light. They are not the cause.

I run my whites and blues at 80% and I have had cyano once in 17 months.

Your NO3 and PO4 are fine so it’s not nutrients.

Suck it up with a turkey baster, and try to increase flow in those areas if you can.

It’s not bad at all, just a few annoying patches and not worth making major changes.
