    Green Cyno

    I have green slime algae growing all over I think its cyno, has anyone else had this and how did you get rid of it? I've been battleing it for a while now and tried water changes blowing it off with turkey baster nothing seems to work.

    100 gallon display 35 gal sump with cheato SPS and LPS every thing else is doing fine
    alk 10 dkh
    cal 425
    mag 1400
    nitrates and phosphates are un detectable
    RO/DI water for changes and top off

    filters are good, cleaning crew is not to bad, I have a bad crab that gets the snails so I replenish them regurly.

    For some cyno issues increasing you flow can help.. also if you use some airline tubing and connect it to a piece of rigid tubing it can work really well for sucking cyno out.
