I don't have a pic of it. It looks like blue green algae but RED! I dunno...any ideas?

JJ,

Pics or a very detailed description will be required. Too many species to guess.

Plus, you want good accurate advice, right? Then you need to provide more detail

Call me later if you want......

Sounds like what I used to get in my saltwater nano tank early on. In saltwater its called red slime algae, but its cyanobacteria, just like bga. That said a pic would be helpful.

I'm not sure what it is, but I know that is not red slime algae, looks like a pale thread algae, but there are others here who could probably identify this with greater accuracy.

I know what thread algae looks like and this is surely not it. This is slimie almost like snot lol.
