jpa14 · 03/29/2016, 06:57 PM

Has anyone had red slime issues using coral A,BE,V.
I have 350 gallons total water..mostly sps
Cal- 450
Mag- 1430
Alk 7.3
Salt ...red sea pro.been using this salt for over a year with no issues.
Dose
coral A--3 drops every other day
Coral V- 3 drops every other day
Coral B&E 3 drops per day.
This is well below the recommended dosage.
After 3 week I had a very bad case of red slime... when I started i had none. I stopped dosing a week ago and the red slime is going away...I love the product my corals looked better..but can't take the red slime...any help would be appreciated.

What is Your total volume of tank?
I think that You should start from 1 drop, after week - 2 drops...
Corals should get used to new supplements.
Are You dosing anything besides Aquaforest supplements for corals?

Tank has about 350 gallon/1324 liters total water.
I dose cal,alk,mag ..I also dose some iron for my chaeto.

My corals responded nicely to the aquaforest supplements but caused a bad case of red algae.

I would really like to continue with these products..once the red algea is gone I'll restart at even a lower dose but I hope it's enough to help the coral...
