worst i am see red algae on my sand bed -_-

I've got a feeling what you see might be diatom rather than red slime algae.

Pretty common if you use dechlorinated tapwater, I have my fair share as well in the past.

Common in starter tanks and will continue in dechlorinated tapwater.

Sump: 36"x18"x20"
