red hair algae

I have this odd red hair algae crap on my rock with my red shooms. and some on my sand. I try to remove it when i do a W/C it will be gone for 2-3 days then pop back up. Anyone know what this algae is ?

Sounds like it could be cyno??

I see the the one website talks about a good skimmer to help with the red hair algae. I have a corallife 65 skimmer (not the best) Will a better skimmer help ? I'm looking at http://www.aquacave.com/reef-octopus-extreme-160-br-protein-skimmer-br-by-coralvue-2199.html but 300 bucks is alot right now

I like ASM skimmers. I run the g1x good for up to 150g, for 259. Vivid aquariums.com has them and they price match, check em out.

Man i read all day about this algea. Alot of people say get a better skimmer the one i have is to small and my bioload is getting bigger all the time ( cant say no to a hot looking coral) Now just how will i tell the wife this lol. What skimmer do you guys use ?

H and S 200X3-F2001

I personally believe that this and lighting are the two most important things in stabalizing large reef tanks. I used to use deltec but h and s is same thing just more affordable.

you can try brown sugar or honey

My one rock has alot of the RHA think it my best to nuke it. But what is the best way to nuke a LR ?

I did find this skimmer today. now i just need to find a way to get and not let my wife know
