Red Slime Remover.... Fail

[sphelps]

What brand?

I've used chemical treatments before and they'll always worked however it won't just make it disappear. You have to manually remove as much as possible first then dose it and then continue to remove as much as possible afterwards until eventually it's all gone, then and only then will you be in the clear.

I used the ultra life one

I've used the Red Slim Remover before but I turned off my skimmer. After 48 hrs I did a water change and turned the skimmer back on. The cyano went away but came back which of course didn't help the problem. Another thing to try is get yourself some Erythromycin (Maracin). It comes in packets now I believe...add one packet for every 30G of water...turn off your skimmer and remove carbon. After 48 hrs do a water change and replace carbon and of course turn the skimmer back on. This has also worked for me but again it came back. Allot of the things they sell you only masked the problem...doesn't help it any...just makes them go away for a little while.

Good Luck
