 Re: Red Slime Algae
Hey James thanks for the reply. I understand what your saying with the antibiotics being introduced into the system. They kill off most of the needed anaerobic bacteria and cause a "mini-cycle" due to the shift in stability. I have heard about RowaPhos too, it does help in the removal of the cyano and has less impact on the system. I have also heard that starving the system of supplements for a few weeks and just harvesting the algae as it grows is the best way to make sure it doesn't come back in the future. Along with doing substantial water changes. But basically, a more natural way is always the best way to go. I don't know of any Cyano feasting fish or inverts out there.. does anyone else?
