Do you use RO/DI water, or out of the tap? If using RO/DI how old are
your filters? I am finally winning a 4 month battle with red slime and
hair algae that appeared out of no where. Turns out my filters were
bad and once I replaced them the red slime went away and the hair algae
is slowly disappearing.
If you are not using RO/DI water I would strongly recommend it.
