RED SLIME

water changes and more water changes, just small ones to get the slime
off the rocks and net what you can out of the sand. if your water
quality is good and your lights are not old (1 year approx.) this is all
you can do without adding anything. it takes a while but it does die off
after a while, starts coming back in smaller amounts untill it is all
gone. you also want to make sure you have enough water flow tends to
grow best in low water flow areas. if all else fails the ultralife brand
works awsome and fast with no detrimental effects to coral or other
inverts and fish

...and instead of stirring up the sand to remove the red slime, siphon it off
the top during water changes. This actually removes it instead of just
stirring it around to grow elsewhere.

The PS should take care of any nutrient that the RedAlgae need to grow.
Other possible reason a
Overfeed
Bad bulb
Die off
Unefficient skimming of PS

Or maybe the RO/DI maybe not efficient that may need changing a new
cartridge.The TDS should read near Zero.

CapFusion,...

Do the following:
Continue the water chanage with your RO/DI
Check your bulb
More water circulation where RedSlime resided.
Get better Protein Skimmer that due min. 6x
