I've been having an issue where my red gracilaria algae has faint white lines pretty much matching its growth pattern leading me to believe it's suffering a deficiency since the growth rate is still very fast. So I'm wondering if anyone has had this issue themselves.

since i've yet to get a response i took a picture to better show what i mean:

It keeps growing like the weed it is, in the sump where it gets much less light, its a much more lush red. But i guess in the Display tank the PAR it gets is driving its growth faster than the available nutrients.

since i cannot edit, it looks more like a Fauchea sp macro algae than a red gracilaria.
