Red Slime Powder Usage

[ervine]

Hi guys,

I decided to get some red slime powder to combat a bout of cyano that I've been facing, I dosed the recommended amount yesterday and so far the only thing I noticed is the skimmer going crazy...

What am I supposed to see and how long before I can notice the cyano dissapearing?

Thanks!

i've tried the powder according to the recommended dosage and until i finished the whole bottle and algae still there ..... whole process only skimmer skimming like crazy.

Ended up spending more money to buy aquamedic antired and finally it works, but it's really ex

aiyoh.... die lah like that... which brand did you use?

[sphinx]

Can't remember the brand. Got the powder from c328 the one nearer to coffee shop. Called Red slime remover or something like that(mix with water will be yellow color). about $25 i think

Hope it will work for you. Even using the aqua medic oso took me about 3 days to see result.

Instructions Recommend to remove as much excess cyano first than dose.

Aiyo... Skimmer should be turned off when using any medication... Becos the skimmer will skim away the medication thus no effects at all..

I have used the red slime remover for my cyano before... Works wonders for me... Anyway it only took me 2 day to remove all the cyano...

I got no problem with the red slime remover. Overnight the cyano dies off by the 24 hrs no sight of living cyano. But you may need to scrap the dead "body" off the glass surface as well as the LR.

As bro Terryz_ mentioned you need to off your skimmer in order for the powder to be effective. Only used it once and had never experiece any relapse

Anyone knows if this product will kill the macro algae in the refugium (e.g. cheato, etc.)?

hi, try not to use this product as it will kill alot of the bacteria in your tank, which can cause your tank to crash, to get rid of cyano, increase water flow over affected areas

[markietan]

are red slime removers reef safe? I can't increase the flow by too much or my mushies keeps dropping off...

i'm mainly keeping mushies, rics, zoas and some lps. 3 nemos and 1 yt

I use this once in a while. About 50% of the recommended dosage or slightly more. Off the skimmer, CR, FR and NR for a day. Next day or 2, all gone.

I agree with Zipp86. Previously I had used Aqua medic's product and remember it stating that water change is required after medication as the medication do kill the bacteria and will cause a ammonia spike. Increase the flow and add a diamond spotted goby. Gurantee that the sand bed will be cleaner than newly bought

this product is working well, mine cleared in 1 day. My corals/fishes/shrimps/snails all doing fine.
