The point is about color of lights. It seems cyano loves a certain color of light. Just need to find out which and eliminate it or grow it someplace else.

Yeah they work pretty good i got one. :) not sure if it would stop cyano. But it could. If you grow it in the right place it will outcompete it in the display. Im experimenting with my floating screen one, because my waterfall one was spraying water everywhere
