I have a small amount of red slime starting on an piece of rock....palys next to it have not opened for a few days now.....where can I get this "red slime remover" i hear people talk about it?  Cost and place suggestions would be great.  (Im in sandy)  Also is it safe for all corals and what not?  Tank is currently fishless right now...(ich)   advice appreciated!

Also- I could add more flow, but it seems I hardly have any "low flow" areas in the tank for some of the corals that need that....advice?

Maybe try blowing it off with a turkey baster a few times and see if it comes back.

I haven't used it, but I would think it a quick fix/bandaid. It would probably get rid of it, but whatever conditions in the tank that allowed it to grow in the first place need to be addressed or it will probably come back after the treatment.

I used it a couple weeks ago and it worked great. Before using it I tried to shorten the photo period which worked but as soon as I started to increase the photo period it came right back. I stopped feeding the tank as much and that really didnt work, I increased the flow that didnt work. I tried these things over a period of a few weeks and I couldnt get rid of it completely so then another board member gave me some red slime remover. I went home sucked out as much of the slim as I could and followed the instructions on the bottle and I havent seen any red slim since.
