First let me comment on the person that lost all his fish and gave this product a 1 star - not sure what he did wrong - maybe put the whole bottle in or maybe he is one of those "leave negative comment" people that works for the competition or he had something MAJOR going on with his tank before he started treatment but rest assure - it will NOT kill your fish if followed directly. I've been doing fresh and saltwater for over 20 years now - my tank is a 300 gallon saltwater fish only. In the last 6 months i've been battling red slime algae - parameters are all in check - my final straw was 30% water (60 gal) every week for 5 weeks , cut my lights to 8 hrs / day , which really suck cause I never see my fish and finally cut to feeding every other day for a week (enough food to consume in less than 5 min.). My tank is far from overstocked - I have 18 fish (angles, tangs, butterfly, wrasses, damsels and a bunch of hermit crabs) - all under 4 inches and a 26" zebra eel also replaced my T5 light bulbs. Nothing worked and the slime keeps coming back. Finally researched what one of the best red slime removers were and this one came up many times. Before using I had about 65% slime coverage on my artificial coral -. Instead of a air stone as they recommend, I simply put my water return jet to skim the surface and had a power head behind it and it provided all the bubbles I needed. First dose took about 40 hrs to get rid of about 75% of the algae - did a 30% water change and added a second dose - another 40 hrs later it was literally all gone - did another 30% water change and now we'll see how long it stays away for - hopefully forever!! The product works like it should but it may require a second dose - ALL my fish are fine with no deaths not even the hermits - not even distressed during the treatment. I will probably dose once a month for the next few months just to keep the red slime in check. BTW - yes! turn OFF your protein skimmer - had mine off for the entire treatment - only to turn it back on after the second water change and it will foam like crazy - had to dial mine down about 3 notches from its normal position - so keep a eye on it for a few days afterwards.
