Red slim

[jmil08]

Anyone in this club having red slim problems? If so, what are you doing to get rid of it. I tried ultralife reef products and chemiclean red slim removers.

I had red slime and had success with the ultra life. Maybe try and reduce feedings. How are your nitrate and phosphate levels? Water change schedule?

Have you tried adjusting your flow?

Just did a water change on Tuesday of this week (30 gallon). Nitrate are a little high between 10-20 ppm and phosphate 0.25ppm.

I restarted voldka dosing again and change my powerhead waterflow

I feed closer to night because of work. One cube a day

remember when I had red slime it was in the beginning stages of my system, I just increased flow and kept up on the regular maintenance (WC's, filter socks, cleaning the glass)...how old is your system? water volume and contents of your sump?

Tank has been up and running for 7 to 8 yrs now. I change the sock filters every month or so

very odd maybe the experts here can chime in...but I would increase flow, change your sock more often, maybe run a GFO reactor
