green slime algae?

[EB847]

i have what i believe is green slime algae covering my sandbed. my tank is just over 2 mo old... i use only ro/di. everything is testing where it should (except alk: 12-13 dkh) and phosphates are 0. how do i get rid of it?

Maybe siphon it out and add some sand stirrers/sifters. Two months is still a fairly new tank. Give it time to go through the whole cycling/curing process.

I'm having the same problem and my tank is around the same age.

has anyone had this or other similar algae go away on its own?

it may go away on its own, depending on you tank .. you can get some chemi-clean to help get rid of the algea...
