Red Algae

[mscoral21]

My tank is starting to get full of this red looking algae. Is there anything that eats it? and how do i get rid of it? Id like to get something that eats it.

sounds like cyanobacteria. you need to find out what is feeding it. too much food at feeding time, too long of a photoperiod (lighting), not enough flow, or tap water. do a search on cyanobacteria and there is a great write up on it. i forget who wrote it. also called red slime algae.
