Default Re: Red Slime Algae

I'd start by adding a phosphate remover into your setup first, such as a phosban reactor and phosban or rowaphos. If that doesn't work after a few weeks to months, Chemiclean will work, however, it isn't usually a permanent fix. I wouldn't use any other chemical additive. Just remember, chemicals only hide problems, they don't solve problems.
