So, I'm stumped.
Just set up a new 125 gallon tank, all new water, all new sand, and used live rock from old tank. Noticed on day 1 of new set up that one of the rocks still had some red slime. Manually removed it and shut the lights off for 2 days. Turn lights back on and everything is gone! YEAAAAH. Later on in the day I go to check tank and red slime on the rock again.
So how do I get rid of this slime? It makes no sense because the water has NO nutrients right now because it's all new water, all new sand and no fish in it yet or feedings. Makes no sense.
Any suggestions?
