Aquarium Marine
Marine Aquarium covered in red stuff?
There’s a marine aquarium with coral and clown fish and a shrimp in it. It’s all become covered in red stuff lately and looks unhealthy. I looked up algae in a few books but they just talk about kelp.
How can I fix the problem?
It’s not my aquarium. It’s the office aquarium. So please don’t judge me as being a bad owner!
Without being rude to the others I disagree with them as they are giving you ‘bog standard’ ‘book’ answers. The reason I say this is that having kept marine aquariums for about thirty years the times I have had problems with the Red Slime is when the tank is first set up therefore the water quality is normally fairly good. The slime seems to thrive on fresh marine water. The other book answer about constant water changes is nonsense. After your water has been in the tank for about a year the red slime will have gone (trust me!). There is a lot we just dont know about marine environments but constant water changes just disrupt the tank in my experience, I currently have a five foot (160 gallon approx) tank that hasnt had any water change other than being topped up with fresh water for about 18 months. The fish are amazing. If you dont believe me I can send you a photo. My advice is to remove as much slime as you can and let the water settle down. Let your experience teach you not the standard book answers! Remember where you heard it first!
