Red slime iss

Bluess · Jun 7, 2020

I have had my tank for about a year and a half. It was doing great for the first year then all of the sudden I got hit with red slime. What's the best way to take care of it. These are pictures of before and after

Turn down the greens on your light if you have those up. Manual removal then chemiclean is handy. There are tons of reasons cyano can come about, be that flow, high phosphates, etc.

PS those lights are not strong enough for your lps and anemone (the par because practically unusable for them after 13 inches with all lights at max) in the first pic so if they died (since they are gone in the second) that could be why. Just thought I would throw that in since I saw it.

Thanks for the input! What lights would your recommend?
