Is this red slime?

[Guy714]

I think I’m having persistent red slime in my tank despite weekly water change and good parameters. I have 2 clown fish and some soft corals. Please help me identify if this is red slime and how to treat it. Thanks in advance.

Assuming this is a fairly new tank, not crazy or abnormal looking.
You can add a pouch of chemipure elite to assure the nitrate and phosphate don’t become elevated.
Siphoning this up and adding snails such as : trochus, nassarius, astrea and margarita will assist with control.
Adding 1.5ml of liquid bacteria per 10 gallons during the day will also help

I’ve had it for about a year now. Thanks Vetteguy. I’ll give it a try. Is that really red slime?
