HOW TO CURE RED SLIME CYANO BACTERIA

Test your water and get the tank within normal conditions to isolate the algae problem. Red algae locks up nitrates, so they may be present even when water tests are fine. If you are not using reverse osmosis water you may want to test for Copper & Phospate as well as the kit basics.

Have plenty of fresh salt water prepared. Take an airline tube and carefully siphon the red slime off your aquarium decor.

Discard the siphoned water and replace it with freshly made saltwater

Do this daily until a healthy macro algae gains a foothold and uses the nutrients in your water instead of the Cyanobacteria. (Red Algae)


  • Reduce your lighting temporarily.
