I've used chemiclean in the past and it works.. but the slime just comes back.. I think you are just temporarily getting rid of the algae but not getting to the bottom of the thing that is causing the slime.

Now I haven't tried this myself but I've ben told and have read that the zeo coral snow works really well for red slime. You don't have to be running zeo to use it either. http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/s..._ID=zv-csnow02

I am going to be moving soon and was thinking of staring over on this tank and setting up a temp tank for a monthe while i replace the rock . would i need a hospital / temp tank for my LS. all i really want to due is when i move is to tak a night and scrape the algae and replace the rock with new rock.

I used chemiclean once and it wipped out all my corals. The tank has had it once since then and what I did to eliminate it was increase the flow in the tank and am now using phos loc to keep my phosphates down. The tank has been free of cyano for 2 years now.

the best way to deal with cyano is to treat the source of the problem and not the symptoms. by increasing flow and removing any source of phosphates the cyano will stop coming back when you siphon it out.
