REd Algae

[tomclx]

How do I get rid of red slime algae? It is only in one small location on my sand. I am afriad it will get out of control. PLEASE HELP!! I did a 10 gallon H20 change. I have a 37 gallon tall. All water perameters are fine. Should I get a sand sifting Goby?
Thanks

Usually frequent water changes and good water movement will prevent and or fix the problem. If not let me know there is a dry chem to buy that will kill it off really fsat, I just cant remember what its called!! Ill look it up if you need me to though! Goodluck! Todd

ultralife reef red slime remover. I used it last night and it is all gone this morning. I was doing everything to get it to stop New bulbs,cut down on lighting time, water changes, feeding less and it was just getting worse.

The red slime removr works well I hear, however whater movement is VERY important. Ensure there are no "dead spots" where there is no movement at al, will usually clear it up too.l
