have a sudden influx of this stuff on my rock and glass. what's the cause? Went from green micro to full on red slime. sucked it up with a water change and it's back 3 days later.

Is it cyano? increase the water flow in the area where you see it and it should go away.

Sounds like cyano to me... you'll end up hating that stuff as much as you do aiptasia.
