So I was using this product to remove my red algae and it does work...

One problem I have now is that my skimmer is blowing bubbles like crazy when I turn it on.... I've done a WC twice and it is still happening...

any ideas what to do? he medication probably got stuck on the skimmer's plastic body huh?

I had really bad red algae problem but once I put big size of live rock, all red algae disppeared. mine is 28G nano and I put 60 lbs live rock. so pretty much my tank is full of live rock. I am not 100% positive but pretty sure more live rock cycle your tank better.

I'd a red slime pro. Ultralife red slime remover is the only thing I dose my tank with(that's a joke...sort of).
It will make the skimmer go nutty for a day or two. Because of this I shut it down or I lower the outflow tube considerably. It(Ultralife) seems to have zero effect on my tank or its inhabitants. I also shut down my TLF reactor and replace carbon and GFO afterwards too.

I had to set the outlet of the skimmer to maximum to it wouldn't overflow with bubble, when that doesn't help, I had to take out the tubing that you pull up & down to adjust the outflow and that fix it and put it back after 2,3 days after there are less bubbles.
