Hey there, first time here.
I have had a continuous red slime problem in my tank. 55gal with 60lbs live rock, sand and crushed coral bed. penguin 330 filter and seaclone skimmer. Ph 8.0, alk 7, ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 20, phos less than 0.2 as low as my test goes.
Have yellow tang, 6line wrasse, pseudo, small clown, scooter blennie and a gobi, multiple snails and crabs, 2 starfish. pulsing xinia doing great, cup coral, 3 kenya trees, sun coral, multiple mushrooms and ricordia, hammer coral and few christmas tree and fan worms.
Have tried chemiclean multiple times, water changes and now added a hair slug to eat it. I syphon it up but it keeps coming back. Any ideas?
My calcium is high in the 705 range, not sure why or how to get it down. everything else seems great.
Lighting is 4x65watt 50/50 compact flouros and 4 lunar lights.
