Very interesting thread in zeovit.
http://www.zeovit.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14439

And this is G.Alexander as ZEOadmin quotation
Hi Takayan, different kind of slime algae and diatoms where reported from the people having issues with this kind of sand in combination with zeovit. Not sure which kind of algae you are observing ?

I have bad slime colored red and dark brown. I am not sure it is from overdosing or bad substrate (That means it can not get along with zeovit method)

    I have the excact same problem with my tank. I've been using Zeovit for 3 months now and have massive cyano problems on my sandbed. Never had this before.

    Hi Espen and Taka

    Thanks for reply.

    Luckily My slimes start to reduce dramatically. I found that especially third one were gone fastly in yesterday. First(Second)slimes are also reduced much.I will take a picture. I do not know why but I am suspicious to KH related thing.
    I checked what I have done.
    1. Dosing schedule is same that I posted to zeovit forum
    2. I add Reef Builder (Seachem) to raise KH
    3. I did water change 100liter (1/4 of my tank volume) because I dosed FWE to kill flat worm
    4. Add to 2~3mm sand on carib fiji pink partly.
    5. Others (feeding,skimming etc) are same

    Dear Taka and Espen~!
    What is your KH value?
    I will see my tank during several days and let you know. Thanks

    Vince,
    That's good news!
    My KH in tank is around 7dKH.
    I think that Diatom loves high KH. Please update after a couple days. It looks water change is affected the algae.

    Hi Taka.

    My tank KH is also around 7 too. So I am raising until around 8.

    Yes, I think maybe KH or Water change can solve this problem, but Not sure.

    Currently I plan to big water change 25% weekly like MR anagombe for month and check the coloration. It is not easy for sure but I will try this. Thanks

    흠... 저도 예전에 어항에 저렇게 붉은 시아노 같이 생긴 녀석이 락에 생겨 났습니다.

    그러다 한달뒤에 사라졌습니다. 똑같은 모습을 하고 있네요.. 붉은색 막과 점액질..

    보기만해도 소름이 돋네요^^:;;; 또 보기 싫습니다.. ㅋ


    제가 보기에는 Overdosing 보다는 다른 삼자가 잇는 것 같습니다.. 경험을 비추어 보면^^

    빨리 완쾌되길 바래요~!!!
