Has anyone had any success with this? I’ve been battling cyano off and on since February, made changes to flow, reduced coral feeding frequency, stabilized nitrates, etc and I’m still battling it. I have Chemicleqn but been afraid to use it and was holding out as a last resort. I’m planning on trying it this weekend then I saw this when I was getting some other supplies.
Thinking I have an outbreak of cyano. I have a reddish brown algae covering the sand, and I’m having to scrape the glass multiple times a day and it’s making the water cloudy. Any recommendations? Not sure if this related, but I had bottomed out nitrates few weeks ago. I increased my feedings to twice a day, but this cyano seems to have gotten worse. I’ve been dosing NeoNitro and got my nitrates to 4 so I’m happy with that. Nothing appearing stressed. I’ve stopped dosing coral animos daily, and temporarily stopping feeding the corals incase this is fueled from a nutrient overload. My parameters have been decent other than my low nitrates. I’ve added more snails over the weekend too. Trying to combat this as naturally as possible.
Need some help.. my tank has been completely overrun by algae.. not sure what I need to do. My fish seem fine, but the tank looks atrocious. Any tips on what I need to do? I can’t tell if this is cyano or dino’s.. ordered a microscope to try and identify what this is to take the appropriate steps. Any tips?
Just rocked a good water change after a Chemiclean treatment. Didn’t put a dent in what’s been growing on my sand bed. I’ve read that Chemiclean doesn’t work against certain Cyano strains. Gonna do my best to keep nutrients stable and wait the course. All corals are super happy and showing growth so I’m not crazy concerned.
Bypass the ugly phase? Conducting an experiment on my new build. In hopes of heading off the ugly phase or an alge bloom i am keeping my alk up and dosing with Coralline alge. Hopes that it takes hold instead of any other alge. What do you think? Already have some starting on this rock.
