Just out of curiosity, did you ever have aptasia, and if so, did your Blue Face Angel kill it all? I had an infestation of aptasia, mostly because it didn't bother me much, and in one week my Blue Angel killed all of it. I'm just wondering if I have an unusual Blue Face or if they actually do kill aptasia. That is, if you had aptasia to begin with.
As for red slime, if you don't have a refugium, I recommend "Red Slime Remover". It didn't hurt any of my fish or live rock (supposedly reef safe as well) and completely cleaned out my red slime in 3 days.

I also beat ick by raising the temp to 84* and keeping my salinity at 1.020 (where I always keep it). I had aptasia because at the time I didn't know better and thought "Cool, another life form". Plus not planning on keeping corals I figured they looked cool, but I knew eventually I had to control the population. Luckily the Blue Face did it for me.
As for Red Slime Remover, if you'll remember that other controversial thread, I don't do water changes. In fact I do and don't do a lot of things that aggravate the heck out of some people here, but hey, I can't argue with the results!

I have read alot of things that people say is a must. Like changing the water evey week, having 15x hr water movement, or bioball are nitrate farms. I have had a sw tank for a few 7 years and know that nothing is set in stone. What works for me might not work for others just because our tank is diffenent. And for red slime, I had it and all I had to do is move the direction of the water flow. For Ich I always use COPPER. That right I said COPPER.
