So I am picking up a bunch of frags from mother colonies from guy in town that has let his tank go due to work etc. and cyano bacteria has taken over his tank. Lots of nice stuff that has lost its luster that I hope to bring back to life.

The plan is to QT them for a couple days in temporary set up but am curious what you guys use to remove Cyano.

I plan to blast them with flow and keep lights off for a day or so. They will be dipped and then going on new plugs and placed in my DT this weekend.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
 
As side from blasting them, dip them in some coral dip.
