I could use some help here. I had hair algae take over my 120g tank, I treated it and now I have this redish/purple substance taking over, when I try to move a small portion of the stuff it takes sand with it. I have no idea how to get rid of it. I have attached a picture but not sure how this forum works so here is the link also

cyanobacteria.. Many people fight that battle in this hobby.. Do a search on here for it..
BTW there are many ways to treat it.. Read and choose one for yourself. You'll get many opinions on the subject.
