What type of algae / bacteria is this?

[Nick28]

Flat ,wavy , slimy ,matted carpet like coating looking and purple is cyano sometimes manual removal is all it takes .

Im not sure if different color cyanos grow in different water parameters

As ive only had red and black-brown

Any other types of algae growing in your display like hair algae?

Any other filtration besides the scrubber?

If the middle is filling in, it is going in the right direction.

Hey Nick. Yes I have a red algae, brown algae on the glass and a fair amount of hair algae. I've started using chemi-clean because the cyano is getting out of control. I siphon the sand where it is mostly right now but it doesn't suck up really. It sticks to the sand. I have a skimmer that I use, a filter pad and chemi-pure blue. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture yet but the middle is starting to fill in. It is a bright green color which is good and the outer edges are still dark green or black. The glass also has bright green on it mostly. I think the algae on the glass has allowed the middle to start filling in as it lessens the light a little. Its not a lot of algae but the basic color is there so I hope it will grow soon. My tank is getting overtaken by algae!
