Hello Im having this red algae problem. I started to notice it about 3 months ago and I’ve been manually pulling it out and sucking some off during water changes. However it seems to be getting worse. I’m wondering what I can do to help solve this. I’ll post a pic of my tank parameters and some pictures of the algae. Any advice is appreciated!

Photos of algae under white light are a must for identifying.
