How to get rid of these red stuff?

[Coralgurl]

Get some sand sifting snails or a diamond goby. My goby won't eat the cyano, but does keep the sand clean of debris. I've got cyano on my rocks and I've been blowing it off and syphoning it out. I have also changed the flow in my tank and this seems to be helping. You may not be able to add more flow, but you can change it around to avoid "dead" spots.

Some claim blue and red Hermit Crabs will eat it, however, all crabs are selective eaters and will eat what they want, when they want...

I suggest purchasing some Nassarius snails as well. They are sand sifters. They will not eat the cyano but they will eat the left over food particles, etc. as well as stir up the top layer of your sand bed.

How long has the tank been setup?

Run gfo to lower your phosphates

[daniella3d]

use some GFO to lower your phosphates and use some Red Slime Remover. It is safe for coral but be carefull if you have real sponges as some sponges live in symbiotic with cyanobacterias inside of them.

I never had a problem using that stuff with all of my sponges but it could affect some sponges.
