I've got some red slime algae growing on one of my rocks. It's growing pretty fast and I'm afraid it is going to take over. How do I get rid of it?

Red Slime algae is actually cyanobacteria which feeds off phosphates, organic matter and Nitrates in the tank. Water changes are your best defense. You should use R/O water. The wrong lighting can also affect red slime growth as well. Here is a good article to start with - http://netclub.athiel.com/cyano/cyanos2.htm - Good luck!
