I've used it before. It worked but then it came back stronger and even worse. Which is whats happened to others that I know also. I'd go with the lights out period and water changes. I literally just had a small corner start getting some so I did a 3 day lights out period and viola! it'd gone.

I used it and regretted it big time. I was traveling a lot for work at the time and my old 55g got some build up and instead of doing a good cleaning on the tank and performing some significant water changes I tried this stuff. Got rid of the red slime but messed with the oxygen content of my water so badly that one of my seahorses developed gas bubble disease. 75$ for a vet visit later to get some diamox and a week or so in a hospital tank little Stevie was fine but I learned an important lesson.
Address the problem that is causing the problem. You can then suck up the slime in a water change.

They probably ate whatever was causing the excess nutrients.

The blue leg hermits will consume cyano. I'm not sure about the red legs though.

I've tried it and it worked fine but I also took measures to get nitrates down before it had a chance to come back strong.

My 55 is starting to turn an ugly red colour too. So water changes & lights out should cure it? I never had it until I took everything out and scrubbed all the green algae off everything. (even the snails & hermit crabs) My pH is a little high but everything else looks good. I was thinking about getting some of that stuff too to get rid of it, but I think everyone just changed my mind.
