Has anyone used Red Slime Remover in a tank with clams????
OK, here is my story; I have a 180 with total water around 225 G. The past year I started to keep SPS and reworked some rock and added more (I have about 300-375 lbs). In the back, just 1 corner I found a patch of cyano (brown) algae (pretty sure it's cyano); it was in a low-flow area behind everything. I have (tunze) pumps circulating in the back but the algae returns after cleaning. I suspect that the issue isn't water movement as much as it is that the cyano has a foothold in the cracks and crevices of the encrusting algae and I am unable to get the cyano out so it grows over time.
It doesn't grow fast; I end up cleaning it every 2-3 weeks after I notice it's grown a patch but I'd like to nip it once and for all and see of the extra Tunze pumps will keep it away but I just can't seam to get that last bit so I was thinking of using Red Slime Remover. My concern is I found 1 person who swears it killed their clam and I don't want that to happen to mine so I wanted to see it this may have been potentially misdosing or something else and not the product.
Before you ask; new lights (a couple months old), no NO3, PO4, etc; good flow all around. Clam is very healthy; it has doubled in size in the year I've had it and since adding the Deltec CA reactor it seams to grow almost daily.
Feedback?
