got a 56 gallon tank with a large wet dry over-flow system in the corner.
all that is in the tank is a pair of large ocellaris clowns and a large carpet anemone. theres also an anemone crab, a few turbos and 2 dwarf hermits, with some live rock.
i cannot get rid of a red slime algae problem that seems to attack the tank. i realize that a large problem is that their is no protein skimmer and that would probably help but i'm not putting a protein skimmer on it and need alternatives.
as far as livestock, the anemone used to be in the sand so i was unable to put anything in the tank because they would fall victim to him. now he's moved to a corner in the top of the tank next to the output and seems to be very happy there, so i'm hoping i can now add some stuff.
what can i do to seriously keep this red slime out of my tank?
