I've had a recent outbreak of the dreaded red slime.
I seems to be centralized in a couple of low-flow locations so I've adjusted my powerheads to give those areas a bit more circulation.
Nitrates are at about 5ppm, Ammonia is at 0, and Nitrite is at 0. I don't have a test kit for a Phosphate level (I know, I need one). I do run a phosphate remover in my filtration system. After reading about it, I've come to the conclusion that I've been overfeeding over the last few weeks. Definately plan on cutting back on that.
I don't have an RO unit, once again...I know I need one.
I use Ozarka's spring water for my drinking water. Can I use this to do water changes until I get something better?
What should I do? :?
