Hi M8,

Cyno ? - the normal suspects :

Lighting period - to long?

Over feeding - ?

Insufficent flow - ?

If you have addressed all these, then syphon off as much as you can, and continue to do so, with a bit of luck it should burn itself out.

as last thred said syphon it off really helps i have had some red slime think mine was down to to much feeding but syphoning it off has really slowed it up :p
