dsoz Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Cyanobacteria can be almost any color. But most often it is red/brown. It can also be blue-green. +1 for red slime remover. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJenchild Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I also used red slime remover. That stuff had almost taken over my whole tank. It was insane. One tiny tiny little scoop of red slime remover and it sloughed off in 2 days. Then a big water change removed it all completely....haven't seen any since. Yay!

Rugbyfish Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 If you go the red slime remover route, you don't have to use as much as the instructions say. I used less than half and if wiped out all the cyno I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancop Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I also have the brown hair alge looking in fuge only ....on rocks and walls ....just like you describe....I added 3 LARGE turbo's from the DT.....( 125 gal DT ) and they are actually showing a difference...I think that rules out the Cyno ??

Vancop Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Opps forgot....on the red slime remover....I remember reading somewhere that you should use the required amount with the required water change....mainly due to the bacteria's ability to estabilish restance to the antibodic ...which in turn would cause a better resistance to an second dose if needed ?? please correct if I'm wrong ? I'm still the poly-wog to salt water ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
