Hi all, just joined the R2R group this morning. I have been 'stealing' information in google searches as I have been continuing to learn about reefs, creatures, maintenance etc. I had a reef tank back in the late 90's but moved to Canada and I didn't think it would survive a move. Just got back into it. Things have changed a lot since then!
I have a RedSea Max 400S and have been building up on the reef tank population. All is relatively good, most animals are doing ok, but having a nasty issue with red slime that isn't getting better. Thought I might as well join a group and be legal. This forum was recommended by Cherry Corals. Big shout out to them. Great company, responsive, things come on time and if not, they let me know why.
If any of you have sage advice on red slime that actually works, I would love to hear about it. So far, what I have heard is keep water parameters good (check), reduce photoperiod (check), regular water changes (check). phosphate is 0, No3 is 0, just replaced activated carbon, all other chemistry is meets recommendations. From this forum, I just read that I must vacuum it up daily and brush off any of the algae on the rocks etc - daily.
