OMG OMG Red slime all over !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello all,
Yesterday I woke up and found the tank overgrown with red slime! The water chemistry is as perfect as it can be although there were two nights I left the lights (1134 Watts) MH on for too long (13 hours). I used the toothbrush to get them off but they are still there. What to do at this time as someone said I should use Red Slime to get rid of them? DP
125 gallon tank with PC/MH running at 10 hours/day.
Refugium with protein skimmer and media reactor (phos zorb)
Feeding twice a day with flakes/frozen food.
20 gallons PWC once every two weeks.
Coral feeding once a week.
PH=8.4
SG= 1.024
dKH= 7 ( in the process of getting to be higher).
Nitrate =4
Phosphate= 0
Since the outbreak two days ago I did 20 gallons PWC (on my regular day for routine maintenance), has not feed the fish and only allowed one hour of light.
