Red Algae

[Rainman58]

I also recently had a problem with Cyanobacteria. After talking to several people (and getting different answers from everyone) the folks at Pauls Aquarium in Surrey suggested using a product called Nitrate Reducer by Acquamarine along with regular water changes. It`s been 2 weeks now and i`m happy to report that most of the red slime has now disappeared. I know this may not be a permament solution to my problem (a new protein skimmer is on my list next) but it seemed to solve the problem for the time being.
