Best way to treat Cyanobacteria, red slime that will not harm LS, LR or corals??

1) Manually siphon it up
2) Cut back on feedings
3) Add more flow to the area and tank.

We have an excellent article on it in our SW articles section.

I used a powder called chemi clean before and had no negative side effect

I used the same product and it was gone overnight.

Although if you dont address the issues that caused it in the first place it will just come back again.

Thanks! Already cut back on feedings, and moved the coral it's on to higher flow, so hopefully I'm heading in the right direction!
