Hello! My 33g has been up for about a year now, and the last 6 months I've had a BAD cyano problem. I'm pretty sure its been part of the ugly phase, but I used dry rock which I assume acted as a blank canvas for this cyano to takeover. Nutrients are super rock solid stable at 7 nitrates .03 phos so its definitely not nutrient related.
I've been blowing off my rocks frequently but it always comes back, so I'm turning to chemical solution (chemiclean) to see if it works in my favor HOWEVER I just purchased a blue plating sponge and after researching, it seems chemiclean kills sponges too. Is this true? if it is I probably will take it out and move it to another tank during treatment. How long before its safe to move the sponge back if thats what I do? Thanks
