Red hair algae and red branch like algae

[MMAX]

It's hard to find an animal that will eat the red stuff. Instead of looking for a remedy, try finding the root of the problem. I had a problem with the stuff in the summer but I knew exactly where it was coming from. By changing out my RO/DI filters and all 8 of my T5 bulbs it eventually cleared up. While you're looking for the cause of it, siphon or pick as much as you can out to keep on top of it. A turkey baster works well.
