Back in August I posed this question here on Reef2Reef and we had a great conversation. I have a clown fish pair we have raised from fry in a 20 gallon grow out tank and Cyano had become a problem. In this thread
https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/do-rotifers-eat-cyano.1069679/
I discussed cleaning the cyano out with a water change and then added rotifers to see what happened. In that experiment I found that regular addition of rotifers seemed to keep the cyano at bay but didn’t eradicate it entirely. Another community member questioned if the rotifers could clean the tank without already pulling a bunch of cyano out. I have wanted to try this but time has been the enemy. Today I wiped the front of the tank so we can watch and see what happens. I added 1 gallon of our rotifers, sieved and rinsed into the tank without already pulling any of the cyano. Going forward I will document the progression of the tank along with any other rotifers additions to see if rotifers can win the battle on their own, or if they need outside help. Learning and experimenting with our products is exhilarating and fun. I am excited to see what difference they make.
