I need answers! 4 month old 29 gallon FOWLR (4 chromis), PH 8.4, Nitrates 0, Nitrites 0, Ammonia 0, Phosphates 0. Why do I have this red slime, feathery, fast multiplying algae? I do weekly water changes with R/O water and a monthly big water change. Changed out light to a 9360k, rearranged my waterflow, even bought some PURA phoslock (since I read that a zero phosphate reading doesn't mean that there are no phosphates), and I replaced my regular powerfilter pad with the PURA filter pad that has PURA complete inbedded in it. I just did a vacuum and a water change yesterday - and within hours this stuff is not only spreading its growing these feathery tentacles faster then I have ever seen anything grow before in my life. Its now starting to cover my beautiful live rock. HOW DO I KILL THIS STUFF???? I am so frustrated right now...I want to get a couple of more fish but don't want to until this stuff clears. Oh yea, brown algae grew in the beginning for about a month, then the tank was spotless, then about a week later the red stuff started to grow and has not stopped for 3 months.
