    indeed

    its a red slime or cyanobacteria. there is tons of conflict in using anti-red, and I for one second the idea of NOT using it. the cyano will run its course and is nothing too much to worry about. I am assuming you have set this tank up recently (within the last 4 months) other than that just let it go and it will subside. If you have any other questing about it send me a message me.

    Ps

    On another note, Im pretty sure you have too much stock in the tank. something to think about. No worries, just take it slow. Its worth it. :)
