Help with Red Slim!!!

[newfish45]

Can anyone recommend a good product to rid my tank of this reddish slim stuff? I have been using Chemiclean red slime remover for cyano and bacteria. I used it and in a week its back and stronger. Could anyone plz recommend a product, and how you use it in your tank. Thanks.

You should only use Red Slime Remover to quickly eliminate cyanobacteria, not as a steady way to eliminate this pest. For long term control you need to address water flow (cyano thrives in low-flow areas) and the nutrient levels of your water (ammonium, nitrites and nitrates). Deal with these issues and the cyano won't come back at all.

Thanks for the info will give it a go.

erythromycin will take care of red slime. But, I do agree with the other post - it's been my experience that overfeeding is the cause of red slime.
