Bubbles and live rock turning red color?

[scunfcu]

On one side of my tank, there is alot of bubbles sitting on my rocks and the rocks are getting this red color algae on it. Is this matter of not getting enough water flow or something else?

I recently dose ESV Bionic into tank, could this have any affect.

If you put your Calcium alkalinity or magnesium levels out of whack with that bionic dose yes it could have inadvertantly caused the cyano outbreak. Test everything make sure all your parameters are in check, otherwise you might be in the same boat in a few days as well.

So a low alkalinity and a normal calcium level could cause a cyano outbreak? Is cyano a reddish hair algae looking substance?

Read the link in the 2nd post..it outlines the cause of cyano outbreaks.
