Hi,
I've been having issues with low nutrients nitrate and phosphate. I also have a cyano outbreak on my hands as well.

I have had conflicted readings on carbon and cyano. I have carbon pellets bagged in my sump. Should I remove? I want the cyano gone.

Remove the carbon and follow the directions on ChemiClean. Then try to resolve the issue with the low nutrients. Do you have GHA in the tank?

Tank is roughly a year old, the rock and some coral +fish are older 1.5 years.

I do have some algae that's covered in cyano as well. I dosed chemiclean and scrubbed rock. Is the carbon causing something ?
