I got a lobo 2 days ago and tried manually removing it with peroxide and a toothbrush I think it’s growing faster than all the other algae in my tank and also it’s new to the system so I want to preemptively prevent this from taking over.

For now I think I’ll keep an eye on it and continue brushing it off if I feel like getting my hands wet
 
Also I think this red dot might be Cyanobacteria

Tough to tell under blues, can you share a pic under white light?
From my experience, cyano doesn’t glow like that under blues.
