    Hi all,

    I've recently noticed a maroonish/reddish algae amongst the usual green! Has anyone had that? Any solution apart from cleaning it off the glass?

    Do you use Seachem Excel solution in your tank? If yes, then it is just the algae dying off. I have that in my tank too. If no, then I have to leave this for the gurus to answer.

    No, don't use any additives apart from the water conditioner when I top up or change water.

    Thanks!

    Is your tank freshwater?

    I've got some red slime algae growing in a tank of mine, but it's brackish (SG 1.010) probably hitchhiked from some macro algae I transferred from my marine tank.
