Hi All,
I am hoping you can id the below and perhaps give me some advice or link to advice as I haven’t found a general guide on cyano (if this is even cyano):
I am battling with it for a month now by manually removing and doing water changes. I’ve done it yesterday and it’s back in a day.
Second most common appearance is on the rocks:
So if this is cyano, what is the best I can do to get rid of?
The tank is 3+1 months old (1 being cycling) params are the following:
KH 9
Mg 1420
Ca 420
Currently working on stabilizing these numbers with Red Sea foundation. (I loose around 2kh / day)
Nitrate is 0 first time since yesterday - I added some acans and two heads of Hammer a couple of weeks ago, that might be why the nitrates are consumed, before it was between 3-8 since the beginning.
Po4 is also undetectable.
pH is 8.1-8.3
temperature: 79-80 F
13.5g fluval evo
I feed twice a day randomly: frozen mysis or vitalis marin flakes or hikari; the past week before my nitrates bottomed out, I skipped a few evening feedings.
I hope you can help!
