Recommended Posts

Have had some very minor case of Cyano. Have been tooth brushing them but they keep coming back.. Am very good at tank husbandry so don't know why..

Anyways can anyone suggest some permanent cures.i have a fully stocked tank with fish, clams, corals, shrimps, snails etc..

Okay. Have a 225 gallon tank.. Flow is perfect bin fact has been the same since a year plus. However have turned it up now. Miss have some 15 fish which I don't think is much. Lighting is also perfect and been same for a year now. Have however turned it down a bit. Feeding is once a day with ZERO wastage ( fish literally eat out of my hands ). Have been a reefer some 6 years now. So know the causes.. Also am a junkie so don't test parameters at all. Not sure but y the Cyano turned up after a year of tank well being. Surprising bloom started after a water change. Anyways any cures possible? Amox? Red slime remover? Sugar? Have used nualgi yesterday for the first time m

All you need is reduce 2 hrs photoperiod, reduce feeding, wc twice a week and dose bacteria plus sugar and wet skimming. All cyano will be gone within two weeks

Bro you shall at least test NO3 and PO4 (if regular water is done). Else is like going to drug store without knowing what illness to treat for.
