I absolutely can not confirm with 100% certainty what I am dealing with; however, the treatment seems to be working. Dr. Tims felt that the problem was festering and the bourbon barrel probably sent it over the edge and started a chain reaction of sorts. Here's a link to the article.... http://www.coralmagazine-us.com/cont...ite-reef-slime

Not much to report. I'm going to dose my 3rd dose of waste away tonight, a little more than 1/4 strength. I've been leaving my skimmer off for about two hours after dosing. About 24 hours after dosing I'm noticing a slight haze to the tank so I've been turning on my uv to clear it up before the next dose. I'm not sure if it is the waste away or if the same cloudiness is returning. I still see small patches of the clear white slime, they don't seem to be growing or receding. I'm probably going to have to increase my dosage amount of waste away if I don't see improvement soon.
That's all for now.

Update:
I've been dosing about 1/2 dose of "Waste Away every other day for the past couple of week and I have seen improvement in my tank. My sps are coloring up again and I have not had to put my UV on in over two weeks. I'm going to continue dosing for a couple more weeks just to be safe. Things are looking up, but it's been a long road.

Thank you for this post. I have been battling this slime bacteria for years and I thought it was due to carbon dosing (BPs). I article 2, did you see the brown slimy bacteria as well? This is what I have on my LR and overflow.

Not much to report. I've slowed down my doses of Waste Away to about once a week without any issue. My water is still clear and corals are coloring up nicely. The only things that seem to be lagging are my two clams, a 3 inch Deresa and a small 1.5 inch Maxima... My Deresa doesn't seem to want to open all the way and tips over every time I stand it back up, and my Maxima's mantle is recessed a little and won't open fully.

Hello,
Any updates on the tank and how long it took if you ever got this nasty bacteria out of the system? Andre |

It was a frustrating and slow process to get rid of the bacteria. The Dr. Tim's did do the job over a period of a few months. I wonder if the new "Vibrant" product would have worked faster.
