Purple algae that mbuna will eat.

The current arrangement. The horizontal pvc pipe, is getting the psudotrouphus to spawn again.
I need to sift the yellow labs again, as their numbers are increasing.
I add another 75 gallon tank in my basement.
It is still curing, 8 tanks in one. With lots of potential uses, besides holding batches of fry, females holding, or keeping odd fish.
It will hopefully be self cleaning, and auto feed, with some unique algea scrubber devices. To try out.
So now I have
Two 75 g.
One 75g. X8
One 30 long hospital. Dry.
One 30g cube, hatchery, sump refuge
Three 2.5 gallon acrylic dry
Three 2 gallon acrylics.dry
Two 55 gallon drums.
Four 20 gallon, plastic tanks. Dry

Added a wave maker to clean out a dead spot. The 75 percent reduction of light from the algae scrubber, is letting the purple algae grow better in the main tank.
He knows it' a trap. Fish trap, trying to extract one blue fish. That decided to take over the rocky open area. So far he has only dragged the trap out of his "new turf.
Probably going to pull most of the males, out. And sort the labs, as they have tripled since I last sorted them.
Got about 15 baby yellow labs, holding out in the rocks, from 5 females. Pulled 10 male elongatus and left 2 males with 5 females. One which spawned about 30 minutes after filling the tank back up.
Might try a all male in my top tank. With pseuo trophus elongatus.
New 75 gallon is full already. Crap.
Very unsciencetific, the algea growth change from the long strand to the short, probably has something to do with loosing the 435nm royal blue led channel, on my fixture.
Loosing 75% of 660nm deep red light on the algea scrubber.
The two smaller led fixtures on each side of the tank, are half 435k royal blue. Their is not any noticeable differences on the algea growing on the sides. I am thinking the 660nm red in the scrubber is allowing the shorter beard type algea to out compete the long strand algea.
