My tank had some red cyano, bubble, some greenish and black. One treatment of Chemiclean removed over 90% of the cyano that had formed in my tank. The remaining small amount dissipated on its own in the next couple of weeks. I have not had any more red slime in this tank since the treatment.
Follow Up
While Chemiclean should work to remove most if not all of the red slime in your tank, it is imperative to figure out how it got there in the first place. There is no sense in cleaning your aquarium of this nuisance only to have it come back in a couple of weeks.
