Red slime algae problem in 10g tank
Every morning when I get up the red slime has grown over all of my macros and every morning I take a toothbrush and get all the slime algae off of the macros and rocks. it is a 10g tank with dwarf seahorses so id rather not try any chemical stuff in the tank to rid it of slime algae. I do weekly water changes. Is there some way to get rid of this stuff for good?

By scrubbing it off you're just spreading it through the water column. Try to physically remove it. Get some air line tubing and siphon out as much as you can every morning. It should "peel" off pretty easy and suck straight through the small tubing.

Still having a problem as well with it, not as much as when I first posted this but still enough of it to be annoying
