Here are some macro algae ID's for you guys.
This one is really pretty and slow growing.

This picture is of what I think is a species of gracilaria. My tank is high flow, high light and higher nutrients. At first I thought it was pretty and now it's becoming a pain. It's easy to pull off though which is nice. I'm getting ready to get a bak pak skimmer so that should help resolve that prob.
btw, this is the worst I've let it get in a while...I usually cull it out before it gets this bad...

Let's see there are plenty other algae species in there but those are the ones I'm unsure of.
Thanks for looking,
