I seem to be on the losing end of a battle with Red Slime. It seems like it goes away to a point, and then it gets worse. I've cut the lights down, and it isn't in front of a window. I feed once a day. I added a phosphate filter pad to remove phosphates, and have been putting in Marine Success Trace. I have one PH moving 150 gph. My water parameters are this
PH-8.4
A-0
Nitrates-20
Nitrites-0
Salinity-1.024
I don't know what my phosphate level is, but I'm going to get a test kit for that Monday. I don't want to use the chemi-clean stuff, because red slime is a bacteria so my beneficial bacteria will get wiped out as well. So what do I do? TIA!
