I have a little red slime right now.... Grrrrrrr. All my levels are spot on. No phosphates, no nitrates. Lots of flow and new bulbs. I run GFO, carbon and bio-pellets. I seem to be winning the battle though. I just constantly stir up my SSB and adding Ultra Snow once a week. Also, blasting off my rock with a turkey baster once a week. Not sure what else I can do but it is not spreading anymore and seems to be retreating a little...

Dose MB7. Works great together with bio pellets for preventing cyano.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

A bit of cyano lately. I added a GFO reactor to the system 3 weeks ago and increased W/Cs. I've noticed a small improvement.
