Cyano algae on Zoas

CoryC · May 29, 2013

I've been dealing with some slight cyano algae. i took my vortechs out of night mode hoping that will help. It only really started when i added my radions and they started going into night mode, at least as far as i can tell. i've used my julian's thing to blow some of it off, and a soft bristle tooth brush to take care of it some. there are still a couple collector colonies that have some, so is there anything else i could try? maybe a dip in chemi clean or something?

Just use chemiclean to remove it. Cyno will disappear in 2 days.

+1 , also i like to do a water change right after when it has all disappeared .

microblift special blend worked for me.

tried running the chemiclean in a bucket, as it was only localized on a couple zoa frags and not blanketing my whole tank and not on the sand bed. that didn't work. they're in a friends tank that is like crystal clean. i think my vortechs going on nightmode once i installed my dual radions ended up causing the low flow issues, and the cyano to develop. i havent seen it spread.
