| Golden Moray | Re: how to remove red slime? Make sure your water quality is good and siphon as much out as possible and treat it with some red slime remover.

| Elegance coral | Re: how to remove red slime? If you don't have any delicate fish or corals in the tank, you could try red slime remover. That worked for me in my first tank. If you have delicate stuff already, you could try adding turbo snails. They eat the red slime in one of my tanks. Then you need to lower your nitrates and phosphates by feeding less, adding a phosphate reactor, or adding macro-algae in a refugium. The red slime, cyano-bacteria, uses nitrates and phosphates to grow. And use RO water.

| Neon dottyback | Re: how to remove red slime? adding a bag of purigen stopped my cyano issues - had pretty good quality before but that really seemed to help suck the last remaining nitrates out of the water
