Red Slim on Macro

[Micki]

Good morning all!
If I have red slime in the fuge and it gets on the macro. Then I move the macro to the main tank to feed the tangs. Wouldn't the red slime also move to the main tank? I got some macro from Eric yesterday, and my tangs love it!!! But this morning I noticed some of the red slime from my fuge on the macro. What to do???

What kind of macro are you feeding to your tangs? Maybe I could get some sometime? Nothing better for the tangs than actual natural live food!!

Hey Gary, it's what ever Eric gave me. Ask him...

its just wet POT leaves, Eric grows it in his garage...J/K He's got mad macro in there, it's like a mixture of a bunch of Macro.

if your conditions are ok you should not have any red algae transfer

[marinelife]

can you pull the slim off the macro

[bigfalcon36]

eric, how long does shroom take to acclimate? the one you gave me still looks mad from the move.

[marinelife]

I would think a day or two

[bigfalcon36]

thats what i was thinking...just wanting to make sure.

[redpyro]

you can rinse the macro in tap water to clean off te slime if you are concerned

[ohioreef]

That's what I was gonna suggest, red. Just rinse it off in some water.

Eric, what type of macro is it?

[redpyro]

probably calarpa

[marinelife]

Caulerpa prolifera

Caulerpa racemosa peltata

Caulerpa serrulata

Caulerpa sp.

Caulerpa sertularoides

Chaetomorpha sp.

Ulva lactusa

Plus other that I am not sure about
