Red Slime Algea

[slk's reef]

Hi,
I was wondering what is the best way to get rid of slime algea?
I clean the tank then in two days the front is ugly.
PLEASE HELP.

There are some products for removing cianobacteria. Do the search in the internet and you will find it. Are you using RO water? If not, u better start using it. It prevents it. I had this stuff before i bought the RO unit. Now, i don't see it anymore. If u ask how did i get rid of the existing red algae? Probably my turbo snails and blue leg hermits ate it.

There's red algae killer thats safe for fish and corals (dont overdose!!)
Works like a charm 1-2 days and all dead.
I know I had the same problem.
Cheers,
David

I had it once, I used a brand from UltraReef that worked in 2 days, all gone and never came back, but I also use R/O water now..
