how soon for water change after red slime treatment?


Recommended Posts

Hi bros

I used ultra-reefs red slime remover this Saturday afternoon after couple weeks of battling slime. This is in my 130 liter red sea max (2 months old). Ph is now 8.0 so im concerned too low. The product is small yellow crystals bought at lfs in Clementi. Rocks look much better but still some slime on the aragonite sand. Turned lights down to only 5 hrs.

Should i make a 15 liter water change tonight?

Hi bro I have a RSM 130 8 month old recently have some red & green algea on sand bed. I remove it on the affected area and change every week 25% lower the lighting to 5 hr a day. Now it much better about dosing red slim remover instruction 48 hr water change 25% and most of the beteria will death. Coral were also affected. So I try water change every week. Will let you know the out come. Ups

Thanks man. I did one treatment and now zero red slime. Water changes have been going well, about 14% water change per week now (5gallons of Polar distilled). I noticed though that my tank started getting some kind of white flakes like precipitation. Almost like it's snowing... I'm not sure, but I suppose it's calcium solidifying. Not too bad now as I did another 14% water change 3 days after the first one. Coral and copepods (little bugs I can see crawling) seem unaffected. Let's see how it goes.
