Great stuff by SCOTT

Posted on 8/6/2009 from OVIEDO, FL UNITED STATES

Comments: I wasn't hesitant to use this product to address my red slime problem because some of the reviews reported a negative impact on their livestock and corals. But, I was desparate and siphoning it out was not working. I tried it in my tank and am happy to report the red slime is completely gone and all my fish and corals are healthy. Although continuation of protein skimming is recommended, I turned mine off for 48 hours and then did a water change. I would highly recommend this product. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

good product by JEREMY SCHEUERMAN

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 6/20/2009 from BALTIMORE, MD UNITED STATES

Comments: I had been trying everything under the sun in terms of correcting water quality and conditions. I think that the algae had just gotten too far along for any measures I took to be effective. I didn't see any improvment after 24 hours, however by the 2-1/2 day mark, it was nearly non-existant and the 3rd full day brought a red-slime free tank. This product is certainly good for eliminating what red slime algae you have, but you still need to find the root cause and fix that. I have stony and soft corals that saw NO negative effects. The product truly seemed to target only the red slime with no other side effects other than turning the water yellow for the first day. I would use again, but hopefully I will not need to. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

This product is...Aweful! by JAMES L MITCHELL

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 4/28/2009 from LAUREL, MD UNITED STATES

Comments: The worst thing I have done to date to my 65 gallon reef tank was add this product to it for a small outbreak of red slime. I did two treatments since the first didn't do anything. Some but not all of the red slime was removed but I had to do a 50% water change just to be able to use my protein skimmer again!!!! Trillions of bubbles (caused fish stress) and overskimming (yes it was turned down AND I didn't used it during the treatment). This is the worst product I've used and DO YOURSELF A HUGE FAVOR..leave it on the shelf!...and just do the water change :-) I would not recommend this product to my friends.

persistent red algea by AMANDA

Slime algae by GEORGE LAUGHLAN

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 3/3/2009 from MYRTLE BEACH, SC UNITED STATES

Comments: Applied as directed without ozone/protein skimmer. Slime algae was quickly removed. After three days turned ozone and skimmer on - had to use a bucket to collect two gallons of watery discharge. Discharge decreased with time. This product is excellent but use without your skimmer and or ozone. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

More like UltraLife Remover by DAVE AKINS

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 1/3/2009 from MURPHY, TX UNITED STATES

Comments: Well, it removed the slime. Unfortunately, it killed EVERYTHING in the tank in just 2 days. A few SPS corals, a Fox Face, a Sea Urchin, a rock covered in star polyps, some LPS, and many huge mushrooms. My only trouble was red slime. Everything had been in the tank for at least 3 or 4 years and doing fine. After the smell got horrible in 24 hours, I started changing water as fast as my RO would generate it. But it was no use. Everything is now rotting on the tank bottom. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Great product! by DAVID HOKEY

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 12/18/2008 from PHILADELPHIA, PA UNITED STATES

Comments: I've been fighting blue-green algae (red slime) for several months. I've tried improving lighting, decreasing feeding, increasing skimming and water changes, but I always had to remove a large amount of the stuff by hand with every water change only to see it return the next day. I tried UltraLife Red Slime remover with a bit of hesitancy and a lot of desperation. I used it and reapplied 48 hours later. The blue-green algae is gone! My starfish, shrimp, snails, crabs, fish, and tube worms are all fine. No ill side effects that I noticed except my skimmers were working overtime and the pH dropped slightly. I highly recommend this product to anyone who has a problem with red slime. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Cyano Killer by DRGilroy

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 10/13/2008 from CHULA VISTA, CA UNITED STATES

Comments: I have a 50g mixed reef. After battling Cyano for a couple of months with water changes, brushing off rocks and vacuuming the sand in my tank with no success, I decided to try the Red Slime Remover. The product performed far better than I had expected. I applied two treatments. First, I removed my skimmers collection cup but left the skimmer on and then I turned off my UV sterilizer. I applied the required dose to a container of tank water and then poured that into the tank. I waited 48 hours and then performed another treatment. The results were amazing. All the Cyano seemed to have melted away by the fourth day after initial treatment. This is an awesome product that I highly recommend it you are fighting a losing battle with Cyano. Good luck and happy reefing. ;^) Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Completely Effective! by chrisO

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 5/25/2008 from BREMERTON, WA UNITED STATES

Comments: This product works like a champ. After several weeks of battling and slowly reducing the red slime that had invaded my tank, I just couldn't get it to go away completely. Purchased this product after reading the reviews and it took about 24 hours in my 120 mixed reef for the red slime to go 100% bye-bye. It will make your skimmer explode; I couldn't turn mine down far enough, so be ready to do several water changes. Noticed no ill effects on any livestock. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

It took about 36 hours, but the red slime just shriveled up and died. I would highly recommend this product if you have a red slime algae problem. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

EXCELLENT!!! by Jon

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 3/27/2008 from NAUGATUCK, CT UNITED STATES

Comments: I had to wait 3 months before I write this and I guess its time. THIS PRODUCT WORKS! Did not kill any of my livestock. And I mean ANY! From Fishes, Inverts, Corals, Feather Dusters, Pods, etc. I took the advice of a friend who already used this product. He told me to watch the skimmer just as soon as I used it in my tank. I just adjusted the skimmer knob (without turning the skimmer off) just enough to let it skim a little...just a little. Next day...no Cyano...and some red dirty gunky water in the skimmer cup. It has been 3 months now and everything is back to normal...as if I never had a cyano outbreak. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Works ... BUT ... by Ed

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 12/31/2007 from POOLESVILLE, MD UNITED STATES

Comments: I carefully followed directions and lost two fish. When you use this product, expect disolved oxygen to rapidly fall. Be prepared to agument with extra circulation and possibly an air stone in the sump. Further, have your skimmer ready!!!!!! Yes, your skimmer will go crazy with overflow, but it will quickly remove the product. I would use this product again, but with far more precaution, and I would turn my skimmer on after about 6 hours, contrary to the directions. The good news is ... it did remove the red slime, and did not seem to kill coral or inverts (it has been 48 hours). Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
