[My5tic77]

Has anyone used redsea nopox? Is it normal for it to cause slime in tank? Thank you for reading and happy reefy.

I’ve used it previously. No, it doesn’t cause slime in tank. On the contrary, it is suppose to reduce nitrate etc

Thanks for the reply. I guess it's my air purifier

Yes it will most definitely cause reddish slime on the tank. It just means there is too much bacterial growth and you as re dosing too much or skimmer is not skimming out bacterial properly. Make your skimmer do a wetskim and reduce nopox dosing.

I have stopped dosing for the time been and seems like the slime is clearing as well. Will slowly redose after it clears out.

Slime from coral is an indication of stress from corals, try check the source of the stress , if the cause is from the Nopox then try reducing it and see.

Will observe to see is it nopox. But now tank has no more red slime. Will slowly dose back nopox. If no red slime after dosing should be my air purifier.

You want to further reduce ur PO4 and NO3?

You can dose but must be very careful cause it may cause the chaeto to die off.

I saw your other thread u got caulerpa then u must be extra careful cause if it goes sexual will cause big problem to your tank.

Yes, my no3 lowest 25 to 50ppm and po4 0.5.

I am using nitraguard titaniun n rowaphos, having mix reef tank

I am using brightwell microbacteria n biofuel (daily 1ml) for a year but this is the lowest.

Cannot keep meat coral like scoly n prata, always see skeleton then shrink and gg.

Noted on the caulerpa sexual issue, i only left few only. I throw almost all my cheato with hair algae away already, now left little caulepa and with hair algae.

Like that u may want to remove them and try nopox. if ok then u don't need it anymore.

Just make sure u skim wet for carbon dosing.

Yeah sounds like over dose, go easy on that stuff... it’ll either be red slime or stringy slime

Ok,noted. Currently i am using brightwell biofuel, once finished then try nopox if my no3 still not going down.
