Default Re: red algae is back

i cut back on feeding,cut back mon lighting-this has made a big difference.i have been siphoning and skimming the sand.i am also doing ten gallon water changes every week[just started this two weeks ago] i am cinsidering doing a twenty gallon water change next week if things do not completely clear.
i do have a sand sifting star and an orange face goby and nassarius snails that do a good job sifting.my skimmer is also working great too.
all of my water test including phosphates and nitrates test great and i have been testing pretty much every night.
i maight dose the tank with the red slime remover again,but so far the couple of changes that i have made are making improvements.i will keep you posted.
