I've got both red alge and another alge that looks stringy, it's yellow/tan, and holds Air bubbles sometimes.

I've got my phosphate test coming in the mail so I can't tell you guys my phosphate levels at the moment but my tanks having quite a few issues lately :/

Can't really see much under your blue lighting. But im going to takr a wild guess and say that the red algae is most likely cyano and the yellow/tan is most likely diatom brown algae.

Even if you test your phosphate it might read low to zero which could possibly mean that your algae is feeding off of your phosphate. How long you have your lights on? And what kind of issue are you having?

The tank was a bit more awake(so am I :D), I cranked up the lights to get some better pics.

These 3 pics show on the top rock mostly, it's a yellow stringy alge.







Here's a few more of the red alge, this alge I'm not too worried about, it has seemed to stop growing, and from what I hear it's not a bad alge to have, if not growing uncontrolably.
