cyano

I’ve got some microscope pictures! I have a Cyanobacteria outbreak, it’s starting to grow over some corals. I used chemiclean 2 weeks ago, did the 20% water change after and have continued with my weekly 10% maintenance changes. The cyano came back way worse, I’ve also been dosing vibrant. I see...

It doesn’t look like cyano, it doesn’t come off when i rub it vigorously it feels kind of soft like a sponge.

Hey guys, noticed a few dark purple spots on one of my rocks, could somebody help identify if it is Cyano or possibly coraline? thankyou

Hi all, Long time reefer and big time user of Reef Aquarium Guide forums back in the day. Once I started college my mom sold all my tanks and I’ve only now just gotten back into the hobby. Anyway, started my first tank since 2008 back in January and everything was going fine until I moved and...

Anyone dose af life source on a weekly basis? Heard it’s good for cyano and bio diversity… Cheers

Picked this up on sale. I have some of what I think is cyano or red slime, hoping to get rid of it. Anyone familiar with this product? Any tips?

Hi Had diatoms a while back and they went on there own….. Then cyano came which I’ve been battling for around a month ish….. I used chemi clean first does 24 hours second dose 72 hours….. 99 % of it went just had a very small light pink patch size of a penny…. That was 3 weeks ago when I used...

Ok so my parameters are as follows…. Salinity 1.023 Alk 9.34 Cal 466 Phos .09 Ni 5 and I know that’s a little high Mag 1383 I just performed a 25% water change and added cheato two days ago but the brown dust is back, which I’m pretty sure is detritus? I have done 25% water changes and just...

is this cyano? Trying to figure out what kind of algae is growing all over my tank, and what I can do about it. It’s green slimy stuff that has air bubbles grow up out of it over the course of the day. Recently moved, taking my tank 7 hours on a trip in buckets, and was wondering if the upset of...

Hi treating cyano with chemiclean….. nearly all gone just doing a second dose….. I have a in tank tunzee skimmer and have took the cup off to help put O2 back in the tank…… This is putting a large amount of micro bubbles inside my tank, will this harm my fish? No corals at the min… Thanks in advance

Recently I’ve noticed this reddish looking algae just in this frag rack and on my glass and was wondering if this is cyano?

I am having an issue with my tank. I’m struggling with cyano. My tank is a 25 gallon AIO with a Tunze 9001 skimmer, filter floss, and chemi pure blue. My phos is currently 0.11 and my nitrate is 0.0. These parameters have been largely the same regardless of water changes. I’m currently up to a 5...

Are these diatoms still or could they be something different, or are diatoms dying and reforming? I'm confused. I'm at about.the 1 month, 1 week mark since putting biospira and first fish in. Some of this algae is Dark brown, some very light brown. Some rust colored (a yellowish rust) like...

I was wondering if anyone has experience using Easy Life Excital against cyano? I have a cyano issue at the moment and was wondering if this product is effective. I also like that it is a natural product instead of the other chemical treatments available on the market. Any input would be appreciate.

I was wondering if anybody has suggestions for cyano treatments which don't require water changes. I was thinking of using chemiclean or cyanorx but I'm not bothered to do a water change, my nutrients are also undetectable. I also don't mind waiting a few weeks or months for a product to work...

I’m new to modern day reefing. 38 years ago I had a 29 gallon show tank. Had it back when I was in high school. Was so easy to take care of. Had a little glass hydrometer to monitor temp and specific gravity. Barely did anything to the tank and had long living moray, lion fish and cow fish...

Hi all, I have a Red Sea Reefer 250 that has been up and running for 8 months now. My issue is a strange black algae\cyano growth that has plagued me for the last two months+. I have been treating as follows: cleaning gravel twice weekly 20% water changes twice a week Addition of beneficial...

Hi long time lurker, first time poster. I've had my tank set up for 7 months now, slowly adding livestock and getting my filtration and flow just right. I've had some algae outbreaks that were "typical" of a new tank, but now my refugium kicked into gear and is absorbing nitrates and phosphates...

About a month ago I determined I had a Dino outbreak. Started using Dino X and now after 6 doses my Dino is fading, but now there’s a thick maroon algae building up. I believe it’s cyano. Has anyone had this experience?

I have a 50 gallon cube, sump, sand, ATS, radion LED, Protein skimmer, my aquascape is fairly easy to remove in sections. My troubles with Dinos coincided with overzealous Iron supplementation and low nutrients. I lost many corals and anemones to the infestation. I am not sure if my approach...

Have some snot on the back glass, that's growing in an interesting pattern. It's ONLY growing on the glass, and both the turbos and nerites are eating it, so I don't think (fingers crossed) it's dinos. Some of the strings are nearly a foot long, but no bubbles. Where it's growing best is on the...

Hi all, my tank has been running for about 2 months now and in the last couple of days I have had an outbreak of algae. At first I thought this was just the diatom stage as I haven’t had any yet, but I notice some stringy down bits growing on my rock today. This stuff is growing really rapidly...

Set up an Evo 13.5 4ish months ago and have been battling cyano for about a month now. I know it’s likely a bit of new tank syndrome, but I'm getting nowhere, and it just killed my nice chalice. It is especially frustrating as my parameters seem to be quite good and i’m very regimented with...

Hello everyone! So my boyfriend and I both have nano 20 gallon all in one tanks (both about a year old) and we have been running without skimmers with no issues up until now. We’ve both started to get cyano bacteria on our sand beds but our tests are showing that our water is perfectly fine! I...

Why does Cyanobacteria get such a bad rap? I haven't dealt with it personally. From what I read it creates Cyanotoxins, steals oxygen, which in itself is bad. But people make it seem like it's the biggest nightmare of their lives! I've heard it can be caused by a multitude of reasons, ranging...
