yes, i agree amox does not solve the root of the problem...similarly, if one is using ultralife red slime remover or goodbye po4. but if the red slime problem keeps persisting, i think this method is good...bcoz red slime grows very fast...and the moh moh will ruin your tank if they start to appear on the live rocks and choke yr corals...

at least now when i reach home, i dun c these pesky red ang mohs...it affects my reefing morale...n my sea hare only eats green plankton algae...not these cyano bacteria.

Lacl3 (ingredient use for goodbye po4) is good to keep po4 checked...but will not remove cyanobacteria...n too frequent dosing will affect the oxygen levels in your tank....thats the reason why, u need to have strong flow when using this...to keep the oxygen level in yr tank going...otherwise, u will c yr fishes breathing heavily n next thing, kaput!....this is wat happened to my six line.

Hi bro,

It's time to try TLF's "Bactiv8 NPX" heterotrophic bacteria after the amox liao :lol: :lol: :lol: !

Just an update, the goodbye p04 seems to be stressing out my carpet anemone right from the first dose... Might be stopping it soon.. And as for amox, already into my 3rd dose and rsa still around.. Though its showing signs of dissolving away...lets just hope it works. And btw, can i just confirm, i'm practising water changes daily now in very small amount, like 2 cups a day,does this promote high nutrient thus...promote algae growth? Or is it a good thing to do? Coz i'm getting some green algae too

bro, from wat i know, goodbye po4 is meant to reduce the growth of plankton green algae. Yes, this chemical dosage does have an effect on carpet anemone...they dun really like it..bcoz the precipitate substances from the reaction will stick onto them...that's y, they will start to curve up or something...

u may want to try rowa crystal...its liquid GFO and does not affect yr anemone or corals. Quite effective to bring down po levels.

Amox takes a day or 2 to work. So far, it has work for me to get rid of red slime.

btw, how big is your tank?

I wonder too why bro reckless need to dose 3x :heh: . I guess may be his tank is 5ft and above :evil: or the amox is already expired liao lol :yahoo: !
