Hi everyone!
I am just getting started and have a Nano-cube tank that is approx 12 gallons.
In it there is some well established live rock with a few tiny feather dusters.... 2 clowns, one cleaner shrimp and 2 emerald crabs.... I have added a few snails periodically but they seem to clean up the green algae then die on me
Anyway, lately I have had an issue with red slime algae.
Not the encrusting stuff ..... the kind that looks like a dark red slimey blanket over everything. I can blow it off with a turkey baster...... and have tried to skim out as much as I can ... but it's no use.
I have tried water changes, leaving the light off for a few days, and even some Phosphate Sponge .... but it never really goes away and within a couple of days it looks as bad as it did to start with.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
