 What is this slime and how do I get rid of it? I did a water change today and all this slime started floating in the water. Any idea how to get rid of it or what it is?

| Re: What is this slime and how do I get rid of it? Not an expert on frogspawns even though I have one. I do have a small cube and I notice you have 25# of LR in yours. Good filter but maybe you need a little more water flow from a small powerhead and keep your temps down a little say around 76-77. Make sure your water params are in line and maybe start a 15% water change every week for a few weeks and see if there are any changes. A few simple things to try that will not hurt anything. Good luck and keep us posted! |

| Re: What is this slime and how do I get rid of it? I would also change that filter in the back of your cube every waterchange for the few weeks you try it. Are you skimming or just doing regular water changes? |

| Re: What is this slime and how do I get rid of it? Thanks for the info. I use the skimmer that came with the cube.(I know, I know). I switched from a 12g cube pump to a 24g pump but it seemed abit much. I think my water temps are my problem. Im in houston and my water temp averages 82-85 degrees. I do three gallon changes everyweek, and I clean the filters on a regular basis.
