Algae ID Help
It looks like red slime, but when there is no flow through the tank it turns into a cloud.

Can you give me a better look? To be that just looks like brown algae from the angle.

Hard to take a better shot. Looks purple. In the second picture you see in the middle it's like a cloud if there's no flow. Very aggressive, covered the whole egg crate in 12 hours (2 ft by 30 inch)
