Re: need advice

I had the red algae problem in my 30 gal FOWL tank about a month ago. I tested for nitrates, like always, and they were very low. My phosphates were very low also. I live in the country and I have well water. I know my water has a higher trace of phosphates, but I use reverse osmosis for the tank water. So, what I did was used the RedSlime remover liquid and in less than two days it was gone. I did a large water change after that and my tank has looked great since. I hope it stays that way.
