red slime type algea

[ReDDeviLs]

been following this thread cause im having the same problem..

so the solutions are zeozym and wavemaker? any other solutions? will phosp remover help?

yes it will help,

for po4 to be in check,

good circulation in tank reduce deadspot is impt. so no wasted uneaten food will rot there.

low feeding,do not flood tank and feed many meals of frozen food daily.(mysis and brineshrimp after washing still contain water rich in po4 in them,squeeze water out of them to avoid po4 going into ur tank.)(including coral food)

slow stocking to avoid build up in bad parameters that result in algae and po4 build up.

run a po4 removal in small amt and change them regularly like 2wks to 1mth depending on stocking

correct way to check if using po4 removal media with FR, - test the water coming out from the fr. test the po4 if its 0. if yes.. run it the flowrate and once po4 detected after weeks, change the media.

Great to hear tt bro! Glad it worked for you.

I think must also stress that good water quality is a key factor to inhibiting algae growth. If tank has got high nitrates and phosphates, should solve tt first. It will be extremely cost ineffective to be dosing zeozym for the long term and not solving the inherent problems, which might lead to complications in future.

a tunze nano seem to fit the bills. try rowa, they are known to have the best absorption from some where i read.

yea but tunze nano is too costly.. beyond my limited budget

anyway, how much does rowa cost?

u can try deltec phosp absorber from AM cheap also at 75

[sparks1107]

k1 sounds good.. will probably get 1 first to try out if its sufficient..

[ReDDeviLs]

tunzes are known to be lasting,its cheaper for u to get 2 tunze then replacing other pumps afew times.

can try the new deltec po4 removal too. rowa use to work with deltec..and since they din work together already, deltec came out with their own po4 removal.

we all know deltec are good in equipments. are they good in medias? lets watch
