so then I assume the pods died due to the toxins from the cyanos and not the chemiclean itself.chemiclean is an antibiotic, erythromycin I believe to be specific. It's used to eradicate cyano.
Its easy to say "keep them out if DT" when I dont have a sump in my red sea max nano well, almost impossible with an AIO.
I will try to add more live phtyo then..
I saw some eating pellets on the sandbed, maybe just feed some at night..
Btw. once opened, how long can I keep live phyto in my fridge?
