Red slime is often confused with brown diatom bloom. True red slime is caused by cyanobacter. You most likely have a diatom bloom which will not harm your fish. Some causes are:
1. lighting change
2. phosphate or silicate
3. nitrites,ammonia
4. sun light on your tank(if you work
during the day you may not know when the
sun hits your tank)

I have the same kind of thing... I think its cause my diatoms went away, and my nitrites finally went down... So, low I have tons of green algae everywhere, and also some red algae that looks like puffs... Its bulky looking... What should I do, clean it or leave and get some kind of snail to do it... Cause I have a picaso trigger... Right now I use tap water, and its not close to a window either... Any other suggestions??? On what it is??? And how to get rid of it???
