red slime algae

wut eats this stuff?
i know thats a temporary solution but im still curious cause i nevr heard of anything except for some type of conches i think

 

I use calupra to eat the nutrients that the red slime like but then again calupra can be a problem too. I hear cheatomorph works good too.

 

i think my algae is going away!
does the algae shrink during the night?

 

mine does

 

I used the ultralife red slime algae removal and it got rid of my algae, but my tank is cloudy greenish yellow. Can anybody suggest what I can do to fix this problem.... Thanks in advance.

 

water changes with RO/DI water, protein skimmer, UV Steralizer...all these will help ur problem...

 

Algae problems are usually caused by aquarium water with excess nutrients like phosphate, nitrates etc. You can try adn siphon out what you can to remove the algae in the short term. In the long term you may have to examine how you care for your tank. There are some commercial dry foods also contain excess nutrients and other undesirable things like nitrates, phosphates etc so I strain/rinse my fresh/frozen foods before feeding my tank. You may want to consider feeding your fish less often. Also using RO/DI water and a high quality salt with no NO3, phosphates etc like Tropic Marin will really help too. Adding a phosphate remover and increasing flow in your tank way help too.
