The red slime is just a pain in the butt. Had an algea bloom after my Ro/Di & Protein skimmer went down a couple days of each other. I used some water from a watermill express ( supposed to go through 11 different filtrations including Ro ) and found the water quality is terrible there. I tested...
I just bought the hammer coral saturday, when I was placing the coral I felt a piece of the shell break and in 2 days this is what I have. Is this coral going to die or can it save itself... All para.. are within specs except for nitrate = 20 ppm... Hence the red slime.

Yes, 55 gallon had cracks in load bearing parts of stand and did not know how much longer I could use it safely. I had also read about many many successful moves in one day without tank cycling and new sand being used.
Ended up buying new sand and just seeding with old. But, I treated old water like liquid gold and got every drop I could. 72 hours in now, fish are happy corals are happy, and im happy. The only thing I worry about is my sea cuc. he seems to be having a hard time finding detritus, and I dont...
