Does anybody know how I can get rid of red algae without adding chemicals to my reef tank?
When you filter it out thru a filter sock, you don't remove the nutrients, just the red slime result, it is in the water columnI know this is a old thread but I thought I would add what I've been doing to help reduce it. I've recently been siphoning it from my DT into a filter sock in my sump, it hasn't got rid of it but it is a good way to export nutrients.
I disagree. The algae locks up nutrients, not removing it means it releases those nutrients as part of its life cycle. You are removing nutrients, just like you would be with cheato.. its just not as effective.When you filter it out thru a filter sock, you don't remove the nutrients, just the red slime result, it is in the water column
