Hello,
I've went fallow on my tank for a couple months due to a velvet outbreak. During this time I started to get some GHA throughout the tank and it slowly turned into this webby reddish algae. I was thinking about getting some fish soon since the velvet is more than eradicated by now, but I would like to know what this algae is, if it's dangerous to fish, and how I would go about treating it. Attached below are some pics of it under normal lighting and under plain white lighting. Thanks for reading!
