All,
I ran into a good deal on Red Slime Remover at at local fish store that was going out of business here in Jacksonville. I am selling it real cheap so if you need some I have 7 left on ebay right now. Rob, I hope this is ok to post here, it is a good deal and I know how much this stuff costs. I just want to pass on this good deal to any talkingreef.com listeners and forum surfers out there....Take care all..

ULTRA REEF RED SLIME REMOVER - eBay (item 130193532620 end time Feb-02-08 16:55:50 PST) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=130193532620&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=003)

is red slime, cyano? because i set my wife up with a 12g aqupod with out a skimmer and now she has a cyano problem and i ned to get it out!

Yes, red slime is cyano and this product works. BUT, if you have not corrected the underlying cause it will come back!

well im in the process of trying to ad a skimmer for the excess nutrients but you know how that stupid thing is designed ...thinking im just going to drill the back and put a bulk head on ether side to stub in a small fuge...just need to get rid of the cyano that exists now.

In the meantime I would try increasing the flow in the tank and reducing nutrients by feeding less, rinsing all frozen food, and/or more frequent water changes. Siphon the cyano when you do water changes.

the flow is fine and she changes her water every week...she may need to cut down on the feeding.... what she really needs is a shimmer!
