Green Cyno

[youngtimothy]

I have green slime algae growing all over I think its cyno, has anyone else had this and how did you get rid of it? I've been battleing it for a while now and tried water changes blowing it off with turkey baster nothing seems to work.

100 gallon display 35 gal sump with cheato SPS and LPS every thing else is doing fine
alk 10 dkh
cal 425
mag 1400
nitrates and phosphates are un detectable
RO/DI water for changes and top off

when i had a big algae break out i turned my lights out for a couple of days and did it a few times over a couple months worked really good and i havent had any problems since

beaf up your cleaning crew with hermits and cerith snails. when was the last time you changed your RO/DI filters?

 

[youngtimothy]

filters are good, cleaning crew is not to bad, I have a bad crab that gets the snails so I replenish them regurly.

For some cyno issues increasing you flow can help.. also if you use some airline tubing and connect it to a piece of rigid tubing it can work really well for sucking cyno out.

i hooked up a reactor with gfo and that seemed to help out about a week later it was all gone
