The tank is doing well. I will post a more in depth update and pictures soon!

 

Great news. Looking forward to your new pictures.

I need help! I found some red slime algae on the back wall of my tank. I don't want it to grow anymore. What should I do?

 

OPTION 1: Wait until the weekend and do a 10 gallon water change while siphoning it out and clean all the equipment (filter, skimmer and box, power heads, etc.) I also ordered some new stuff like lights bulbs (the ones I have now are 2+ years old), a new unit of Chemi-Pure Elite, Purigen, a heater, etc. I can install all of that stuff and do a massive clean up day.

 

OR

 

OPTION 2: I can use some of my Ultra Life Red Slime Remover that I have. I don't like using chemicals if they aren't necessary, bit I will if I need to.

 

What do you guys thing the best plan of attack would be? I just don't want it to get out of hand. Thanks for your input!

What I did was:

 

1. Reduce my photoperiod

2. Increase the low in my tan

3. Give it time

 

It eventually just disappeared.
