Were they deliberately going for a connotation of "slimy"? If not they might want to add an 'm' to make it "Slimmium".

English is not nearly a consistent enough language to make the argument that “slimium” can’t be spelled as-is and still be pronounced like “slim” — and personally I think “slimmium” just looks weird.

The two-consonants-means-preceeding-vowel-is-short rule is pretty fundamental though.
