My 150g tank is finally up and running. I have the detrivore kit and a modest cleanup crew (skunk cleaner, 3 turbos, 10 astrea, 10 cerith, 10 red leg crabs) in there with half live rock and half base rock. Aiptasia problem is under control (Joes Juice and peppermint shrimp). Cleanup crew is working on the green fuzzy algae (pretty cool actually).
But there is red slime - I blow it off and catch the large pieces but wonder if I should hit it with a chemical or wait it out. No fish yet and am trying to be very slow and patient. Also some in the refugium (no cheato there yet)
So chemical or just keep scooping it out? If he latter does it ever go away?
FYI - the only light on there at the moment is a regular fluorexcent light with 2 bulbs (I think they were either 5700 or 10000, 40 Watts)
As always, thanks!
