Red slime treatment!

darla.parker.96 · Oct 23, 2014

We treated our tank last night after a 10 gal water change and it's growing back already. Can we treat it again? We have a reef tank with 5 fish and clean up crew. Tank is a 35g cube. Any suggestions?

Keep changing water out, using ''products'' will only patch the problem. You need to get your nutrients down. Have you tested your water? What are your parameters coming in at?

Try cutting down on the food you feed the fish.

what are you "treating" it with?

use of something like Chemiclean, you need to leave it in for the 24 or 48 hours as recommended by the bottle. then do the water change. it should break it up, but then you will be left with what it was feeding on. if you dont deal with that (likely phosphate and nitrate), it will come back or another nuisance will take over for it.
