Cyano

[jordannkids]

Today I sucked up all the cyano on my sand bed. Hours later I'm seeing new starts to it again. I was told by lfs to do it daily for about a week and it will all be gone not to return.

Is this correct ???

It will help a lot. But reducing nutrients will be the best way to help eliminate them.

Try the search feature here. Wealth of information here and will answer almost all your questions.

Reducing nutrients is removing what cyano feeds on, extra food, waste, phosphates and nitrates.
