i've spent the last half hour searching through "nuissance algae" posts and can't seem to find what i'm looking for. i know i've seen pictures of this algae on here before, but don't remember where or when. i'm getting a brown algae with bubbles spreading over my sand first, then to rocks. it's almost stringy. when i did a water change yesterday and basted off the rocks, there were string-like things floating in the water column. today, they're back to looking like algae on the rocks. in some places they kind of come to a point with a little micro bubbble on top. i'll try to find or take a picture later if you need it for a positive id. just need to know how to get rid of it!
i only feed a few times a week with a combo of flake/frozen foods and only a little bit each time.
lights are on 10ish hours a day
ro/di water for all water changes/top offs
55gal reef with 6 small fish, snails, cleaner shrimp brittle stars and a few easy corals
sump/fuge with skimmer, dsb, chaeto & hermits
