What is this sticky algae?

[Louisethenewbie]

Cananyone help ID this stringy sticky reddish/brown algae? My tank is 5 months old & it only started appearing in the last week. It grows quite long & stringy quickly - this thermometer probe was scrubbed clean less than 48 hours ago. Would appreciate any help. For information I also have some bubble algae & vermetid snails. Thanks

Does it go away at night and come back in the day with the lights? White light pics will help. What is your Nitrate and Phos levels?

I can't see anything, sorry.

Have added another photo which hopefully shows it better

My best guess would be cyano, but I'm not certain.

Have added another photo which hopefully shows it better. Not sure about nighttime… will check tonight. Will also check nitrate & phos levels although I don’t seem to get very reliable results from my NT Labs tests
