Got the bacteria bloom taken care of!! 😮💨 added a air stone for 2 days and cleared right up! Now just hopping my hammers dont die, everything else's looks good tho!
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.
So I tested parameters today. All looks okay. Nitrates are a little high but nothing concerning (I wouldn’t think). The only thing I see is calcium being pretty high. Anyone have any ideas why I might’ve had the cyano outbreak? I’m trying to make sure once the lights come back on that it doesn’t come back swinging, but I can’t seem to find the root of it. It could just be me not looking in the right place, but hence the questioning.
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?
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.
I did a round of Chemiclean and did the water change yesterday along with a lot of manual cleaning. This is what it looks like this afternoon so I started another cycle of chemiclean. It’s growing in sort of a slime texture to the point that the thicker sections I could tweeze out the globs from the sand. It also was stringy with air bubbles in some parts.

How do you deal with cyano?
Wish this cyano would disappear

New tank cycling and this is showing up, only in this corner. Good? Bad? What do I do? 🤷🏻♀️ (the red stuff)

Newbie here. Is this normal for a cycling tank? I can’t tell if it’s micro bubbles or an algae bloom? I’ve been adding microbacter7.

Do you guys think this is cyano ?

How do I get rid of this ugly brown film on the surface of my water, everyone says surface agitation but that has not worked for me.
Not the best photo, but like you can see it.
