This red Algae brushes right off with a tooth brush and it's only on a few pcs of my live rocks. Anyway, so far I have cut back on my feeding, Doing weekly 10-gallon water changes instead of 20 gallons every other week. Running ROWAPHOS & Carbon ROX by BRS in my Dual Reactor and keeping a close eye on my parameters. Does anybody, have any other recommendations?? Here are a few pics of what this stuff looks like!

It looks like cyano, remove it when you do your water changes and make sure when you do them your removes as much detritus as you can, maybe increase flow if you can but not 100% necessary
