Hello. so my tank is about 10 months old - 90gl reef. I recently did a couple water changes where I siphoned into my 1-2 inch sand bed and now have Cyano. I have it on a couple spots on the rock and as you can see, on the sandbed. I am ready to do a water change and plan to siphon / skim across the sand bed to remove what I can, as part of water change.
My question is...I have a portable filter sock mount and sock. If I were to siphon the cyano areas through the filter sock and into my sump, will the sock capture the Cyano, or am I basically putting bad water right back into the tank? Obviously new water avoids this, but but quicker reaction every couple days, I am wondering if this is an option. I am curious if anyone else has done this approach..and if it works..
thanks!
