If they are eating the nori in a few min you should be fine. just put enough maybe so they eat it in a short time period.]]> Tue, 10 Jan 2012 18:31:32 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53610&PID=446135&title=purple-slime-algae#446135 <![CDATA[purple slime algae : Does feeding the fish Nori add...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53610&PID=446127&title=purple-slime-algae#446127 Author: utahwatertoys

Does feeding the fish Nori add to the bio load in the water when trying to lower the algae problem?]]> Tue, 10 Jan 2012 16:53:30 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53610&PID=446127&title=purple-slime-algae#446127 <![CDATA[purple slime algae : Sort of difficult to get a pic...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53610&PID=446023&title=purple-slime-algae#446023 Author: utahwatertoys

Usually if you increase the water flow where it is growing that helps. I would recommend treating the tank with Chemi Clean (or similar Cyano treatment) and then increase the water movement to try and eleminate it from coming back.

I keep getting patches of purple slime on my monti and here and there in my 120g tank I see patches of this purple slime. Where it sticks to the monti it seems to be causing the monti to recede and it seems to like to keep re-growing back in the same exact place though I clean it off with a soft brush daily.
I don't have a lot of it in the tank but it is a nuisance to keep on cleaning off the monti every day

Any ideas how to deal with this stuff?
