Hi Everyone!!!

I have started to get a red algae around my tank, i have also found today that my PH is approx 9.2

I have a feather duster tube worm in the tank which seams to have a large dust of the algae over it too along with the rock and glass.

I have done a 50% water change today and removed most of it.

1.022 sg

Thanks for looking

What are you using for a test kit? What is the pH of your tap water? What salt are you using?

There's no reason your tank should test so high then.
