Christy's 90gal Tank - 2008

[christyf5]

I know, I miss it too I kept a couple pieces of it and they're coming along. They should be more apparent in the tank by next year or so

Nice looking 90G - love the SPS! Keep on top of the "red stuff" you captured in some of your pics. Should it get to be too much work, well you can use red slime removed in an SPS tank with confidence. Nice tank.

Thanks for the compliments guys

So far I've just been doing the old turkey baster/water change method, sometimes it works sometimes not. The slime really seems to like a few pieces so those that aren't nailed down have been moved along to somewhere else, so far so good. I've been moving the powerheads around in case its due to *gasp* coral growth! but this stuff is pretty persistent and even when the polyps are waving about the red slime has a pretty good foothold and ain't goin nowhere unless its direct flow.

I'm really hesitant to use the red slime remover at this point. I think I'll just fight the good fight a bit longer as I've had other algaes that were more dastardly than this one, so far I can handle it

Looks good Christy!! I am battling red slime in my LPS and anemone tank.....mine is due to nitrates, yours most likely not...but I am using Tailored Aquatics Nitrate Destroyer on that tank, and am noticing a decline on the red slime (acutally a large noticeable difference quite quickly!)...just an idea.....it also took care of my red slime in my 150g when I was having nitrate issues there...don't know if it would work, but hey, it might!

[christyf5]

Yeah I was using the nitrate destroyer in my tank as well, nitrates were only about 5-10 though so not a major deal but I wanted to get them as low as possible before starting zeo.

Some of the best tanks I have ever seen have battles this issue. When you get tired of battling it, do not fear using the red slim remover. SPS safe is used as noted on the bottle!!!
