Need help identifying what this red algae is, please...

Hi decena
I don’t know if it’s the same algae I have here in my Micro Reef Tank, but how did you solve your algae issue ?

Was it this algae ?

Hi @Micro Reef Tank (sorry for the delay). I Think it is Red Turf Algae, but I'm not sure. I use zeovit system and solved my problem by this way:

- Increased the dose of ZeoBak, Bio-Mate, CyanoClean and Coral Snow.
- Increased my CuC (dollabella Auricularia, strombus luhanus and mitrax.

My parameters were NO3=0.0 and PO4=0.0

Anyway, I think this algae is not the same as mine.
