Hello guys, I’m need some help to ID this Algea bloom in my tank. I had a lot of hair algea in my tank, so I did a fluconazole treatment, and it worked really well. Then I did a large water change, and after that I got this green algea all over the sand. I know my nitrates might be high, but this happened right after a water change. I use RO/DI water. Also I got a lot of this red “algea” or bacteria over the rock, that I’d imagine could be red slime, but not sure. So I’d ask for you guys help me figure out what to do to fix this. I’m inclined to treat the tank with fluconazloe again, but want to know if it would help at all in this case.
Thanks

Sorry, the images never loaded. Unfortunately I don’t have any test at moment, I know nitrates where high, it after a 40-50% water change, I figured that would help reduce it. I intend to do another water change soon, just want to know if I should dose fluconazloe again before I do that.

judging by 3rd photo it looks like cyano to me if your speaking about the red slime like stuff on the rock.
