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,

Looks like the first picture is a species of Codium. It grows so slowly and looks good I think I'll just leave it until I find something else to put where it's growing.

The purple stuff I'm still not certain but I'm sure I'll get something figured out with it. Should have the new skimmer coming sooner rather than later which will really help.

The lime green is Neomeris on the upper part of the rock in the 1st pic.
