Red slime bacteria

Does anybody know how to get rid of cyno bacteria(the red slime)? I have had my tank set up for about 4 to 5 moths and i just had a big spike in my tank of it. I am turning my tank about 21 times per hour. Thanks, Reefer

They make a red slime remover but I would try and suck it out when you do water changes.

+1 takes time to. I had to put up with it for +6 months

Chemi-clean is the best for it.

Iused this stuff it helped but its a pain in the ass. You have to clean the tank alot when you use it.

chemi clean by boyd is the only thing that i have seen work for tuff strains of this bacteria. I fought it for a year before i tried and it removed it within 24 hours and a 25% water change at the end.

i had red slime in my tank when i first set it up, i left the lights off all the time and kept the filter going.pulled out the chunks and it went away after awhile. but i had no idea what i was doing at the time. kind of still dont...

I got rid of my problems with it by leaving the lights out for three days. It never came back. You need to be careful when you turn the lights back on to not have them on for as long as usual for a few days, or you'll stress out your corals, and it takes a few weeks to recover from that, IME.
