Tired Mushrooms

[Bucs37]

I have a 90 reef Tank. I recently had a case of Red Slime in which I treated with the Red Slime treatment as indicated. Since I treated the slime a week ago today none of my corals are opening up, not even any of the mushrooms. My Anemones bairly open as well. Fish are doing ok, except for my Clown, he is dragging around. Now the red slime is gone but I am getting a spike in green hair algae. My parameter are:
Salinity: 1.024
Calcium: 540
PH: 8.2
Magnesium: 1200
Nitrates: 0
Amonia: 0
Phosphates: 0
KH: 7

Any suggestions, all looked great prior to and I did a 15 Gallon water change today and still the same. My protein skimmer is not working right as of yet because of the red slime treatment, alot of bubbles.

Thank you in advance

Many people have had bad results using Red slime. If you search the board you will find many post about people losing their whole setup after treating with red slime. The best thing you could do is keep doing large water changes. I decided to use Special Blend to overcome my red slime that was taking over my tank. After a month of following the directions the red slime is almost gone. Try your best not to use any quick fix chemicals in your tank. From what i can recall Special Blend is nothing but bacteria.
Maybe you can add some carbon, i do not know if it will have a bad reaction with the red slime treatment.

Running some carbon and doing a good sized water change should help. If your skimmer is spewing bubbles that's a good thing, it's trying to get the chemicals out. But yeah, like collegeman said the best way to treat tank issues is to find the cause, using targeted chemicals is like putting a band aid over a gunshot wound, in the long run you're still going to have red slime.

Check how often you're feeding, your light cycle, dead spots in the tank that have no flow, etc...

If you use red slime remover again, I would recommend under dosing the stuff. I used it with no ill-effects, but I think I used a about half the directed amount, and my cyano is gone.

Did you oxygenate your tank while you were using it for the 48 hours? The stuff uses up a lot of oxygen apparently.

Your parameters are odd in some areas, very high calcium, low mg, low alk, so the principle triad are out of balance. My params [lps corals] are in my sig, but they grow at least sps softies quite well. Are you dosing something, maybe a 2-part?

Thank you all for your replies, I did another water change (25 Gallon) after my post and things are coming back and the skimmer is going now. I am using the 2 part BIonics for dosing and have backed off the Calcium. The Coral are looking better, but not before I lost a numbers of them. Going forward I will not be using the Red Slime product. Thanks
