Ive been all over the internet looking for ways to beat Cyano in my reef and I’m finding it a bit confusing. 99% of advise lower your nutrients, increase flow etc. But I have high flow and low nutrients.
I struggled with nitrates over 40ppm and phosphates about .5ppm for best part of two years, it took me well over a year to get them down. I’m dosing NoPox and started dosing amino acids the corals, especially acros are thriving and finally turning shades of green from brown, but I got a Cyano issue now. Red and green slime on wavemakers, few rocks and back glass. I syphon it out but it keeps coming back.
What should I do next and why is Cyano even a issue?
Salifert test kit, the phosphate looks kinda blue but was clear.
Corals appear happy enough.
