So my tank is getting overrun with red slime algae (aka cyanobacteria).
Here's the specs:
60 gallon stretch hex (4' long)
Fluval 405 canister
Skilter 250
Koralia powerhead
Marineland double bright LED lighting.
I change the water every 14 days, I usually take out about 20% and replace it with RO water mixed with instant ocean salt.
I am going to get my skilter skimmer working this weekend to help with this.
I am slowly bleaching the worst of the rocks b/c it is so thick on the rocks.
(This process will take several months to complete)
Are there any tips that you can provide to what I am doing to get rid of this?
I am moving in the next month or so and will be draining the tank into buckets (only moving about a mile from my folks).
The water is crystal clear but I can't get rid of this algae (bacteria). HELP!
