Slime remover won't kill turf algae. Slime remover is just an antibiotic - for cyanobacteria.

Default Red turf

I can live with it, it's not really all that bad. I have found that peroxide somewhat works, but the rock has been dipped 5 times and maybe 10% of the algae has turned white. I read on another forum that urchins will destroy it. Along with all the frags as well

Red Slime Remover is an Antibiotic BUT Chemi-Clean is NOT Antibiotic but an oxidizer. IF your Anti-Antibiotic then use Chemi-Clean.

You are confusing cyano, which is a bacteria and red turf algae, which is a photosynthetic algae.
