Anyone help with this algae? It is covering ALL rock and most of the tank and peels off in sheets. Reddish brown. Sometimes traps bubbles underneath and is very easy to remove.
What algae is this?

Looks like cyanobacteria.

Glad it's cyano. Much easier to use Chemi-clean than the peroxide process.

Before I read that huge thread, I'm pretty sure I have cyano too. My rear wall is covered like that and my top rock is covered in bubbles.
I f'd up by getting coral 1 week into the cycle from the LFS. I'm 1 month into the cycle and my tank is covered in algae...
