Have u tried stirring up your gravel and using a brush to get it off the rocks? I have not had red algae but have done it with green algae on rocks. Just a though. | |

test your nitrates and your phosphates. do a good size waterchange while your doing it sphion out all the algea you can I use a toothbrush and a 3/8 hose to clean off the rockwork. Lower your feedings which will help keep your nitrates and phosphates down, If the waterchange doesnt drop the nitrate and the phosphate low enough and the algea reoccurs try running nitrate & phosphate removal media . Make sure the media is in a flow through canister/reactor
