Red Algae (not Cyano) Taking Over Tank

Cool, I'm glad I ordered so many then. Is everyone having the same problem with this stuff as I am?

I have something that looks like red hair algae and hopefully these will help the issue. It's hard to compare if mine is the same as yours since you photographed your rock out of the water.

Yeah, stupid camera! That's the best way I could get a clear pic.

I know sallylightfoot crabs eat it, will try some of the others mentioned.

Mithrax do a better job than sallys with red macros IME.

Jeni, I'll take a couple of those snails if any left. I have that algae but only in my cube tank?! Kind of weird since both tanks are plumbed together.

Well, I sure as heck hope those Marg. snails help, with everyone getting them!
