Re: Red Slime
I don't think your tank is overstocked by any means. Four small to medium fish in a 75 is nothing, IMO.

Re: Red Slime
yeah, but they are really cool. Tangs are so worth it, even if they are poop factories. It is worth the extra filtration to have them

Re: Red Slime
What are your water parameters? What are the parameters of your make up and top off water? What is the circulation rate in your tank? What are you feeding and how much? How often do you do water changes and what size are they? What is the total of your filtration methods? With out this information our opinions and suggestions are just crap shoot replies. In crease the odds of success by supplying more information. The quality of our suggestions is totally relational to the quality and quantity of the information you supply. However, most of the replies you received are pretty standard responses to your type of problem. Work mainly toward prevention methods and avoid chemical fixes as a regular method of control. Better living through chemistry typically does not jive well with good husbandry practices. If it did we would not have the need for all the ecologists and environmentalists we now need in this day and age.
