red slime algae

Hi all, I have a small 10 gallon saltwater aquarium that is housing some pulsing Xenia's but mostly blue and orange mushrooms along with 1 clown fish. I have an AquaClear filter on the back along with an LED light on it. The tank has been getting a lot of red algae in it and most of my Xenia's...

I was doing a water change today and i found this stuff: Its reddish-pink just like in the photo, and it clumps up with the sand. I'm almost certain it's cyano. I found it under my gsp rock, which I move to vaccum the sandbed. It wasnt there when I last did a w/c, (2 weeks ago), so it is a...

I'm having a problem with my saltwater tank. It's been some sort of algae breakout mostly on the sand bed and over time it gets on the rocks and glass. The algae looks like red slime algae however its brown and gets really thick if not cleaned. I've done 2 water changes in 4 month but right...

Hey people, My 90 gallon reef is doing very well. Coral growth, fat fish good parameters. The only problem is my red slime algae that i cant seem to keep under control. Its been months since its been clear. After reading up on it i found that nitrates and phosphates are the main cause of red...

Greetings fellow reefers! Have a bit of a concern and I am hoping others here have had the same problem, as I have read on other forums of folks having this issue but no follow ups on how they corrected it. :help: I have been battling a cyanobacteria (red slime) outbreak for a few months now...

alright I have had this for a little bit now and have not been too worried but know it is starting to spread, and to honst I dont have a clue what it is. Any help would be great just added a bulky clean up crew from reef cleaners.org.

Is this cyano? At first I thought it was but it's not slimy or hairy. It's pretty hard to scrap off my live rock. Also it's more of a maroon color than red.

Is there ANY way to COMPLETELY eliminate red slime in your tank? It always comes back sooner or later! Frustrating.

I have been having a slime algae problem for the past few weeks, and haven't had much luck getting rid of it by trying to siphon it off the sand (where it seems to mainly be) and doing water changes. So far it hasn't gotten much worse then it was a couple of weeks ago, and I'm wondering if there...

I have a little red slime algae problem right now. If i get a sea hare, will he eat it? I heard mix opinions.

Looking for suggestions ladies and gentleman... I am just getting into the saltwater game and am new to the hobby. have a 125 gallon reef tank. I continue to have this red slime algae and it is getting worse and worse. I have just recently bought some new chemical media filter pads for my wet...

My tank (knock on wood) has been running without a hich for about 3 or 4 months now... however I started to notice an increasing amount of slime building up on my rocks! I usually just siphon out the slime on my water change, but now it is just getting too big. I dont like to use chemicals, so I...

I recently have been battling a red algae investation. I finally got it under control but every time i wake up and go to school...when i come back its there! how do i defeat this beast?

Well here is my story, after having my 75 gal reef set up for over a year I got my first taste of red slime algae (or cynao). I know it is a bacteria based on the fact that is produces bubbles in it that gradualy float up to the top of the tank. I have been fighting it for about 3 months now...

I am starting to get red slime algae in my refugium, none in the DT but I am wondering why it is only in my sump/ refugium? Could anyone help me with this problem i have turned off my light over the refugium for 2 days now and it dosn't seem to make a difference. My water parameters are Nitrite...

My tank is currently cycling and a bunch of red slime algae has started coming up. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get it to go away and prevent it coming back in the future?. Also would a CUC help prevent it from coming back again? or do I just need to add more flow. My tank is 55g with a...

Hello everyone my tank has been up and running for 11 months now and for the 1st time ever I have discovered what appears to be red slime algae at first i over looked thinking that it was simply corraline however as it has progressed in size I have started to notice it floating in water like...
