I think it's cyano. But not sure.. it seems to change shapes at every chance it gets. Originally it was red mat like, today (after leaving main lights off for two days just moonlight leds are on) it seems to be spreading or even changing to a stringy consistency.. no clue what to do. Didn't really have this type of algae prior to vibrant however it did see, to clear up my other problems.. not a piece of hair algae in sight however the red is taking over. It starts as a gold brown then turns red. Any ideas? Sorry the picture quality is so bad.. trying to avoid turning the lights on
What algae is this?

It does kinda look like cyano and if so then having good water flow and performing water changes with R/O as well as syphoning any detritus from the system will greatly help reduce the nutrients in the tank effectively not allowing this bacteria to grow like it is now... Ractors with carbon and GFO can help too however i would make sure my nutrients are in check the other ways first
