I am battling red slime. I have great water flow, feed some flake and pellets and occasionally frozen formula.
Tank is over a year old, have not had any problems til recently, upgraded my lighting 4 months ago to T-5's.
It's a 125 readings are:
s.g. 1.027
temp 80
ammonia-0
trites-0
Trates-0
phosphates 0.5 (could this cause it)?
Use only RO/DI water and it tests the same before mixing salt.
Used "chemiclean" helped for 1 week and it is back.
