hi..if its cyano, u might want to add red slime remover..works for me. u should also do water changes n reduce feeding. your nutrient level should be high, r u using a skimmer?

If it isn't too bad, no need to use red slime removal. Its effective, but i personally dun like the idea of nuking the tank even though it states it's safe. you can try the following:

1. Reduce photoperiod

2. Introduce rowaphos/contraphos/biophos 2

3. Reduce feeding

4. Regular (eg. weekly) water changes

5. Intro some cleaner crew to directly/indirectly help the problem

You should see results in a couple of weeks...

thank you very much, i'll tried those methods....

hope can get rid those red stuff.

Some have suggested using RO/DI so that undesirable material in the water such as phosphat can be removed. I saw some places in Malaysia having water kiosk using RO system and with addition of energy water ... can this type of water safe for fish and coral guys. Sorry to add another question here heheh
