I battled my way through Cyano which seems the only way for me to keep it gone is to dose H2O2 regularly, I see it coming back:mad:. The I was fighting with GHA pulling clumps out, scrubbing with bushes weekly finally used Fluconazole, which btw worked like a charm saw whiting of the algae in two days.
Now the GHA is gone took 4 weeks I ended up dosing some BRS 2 part to keep parameters up and dosed NO3-PO4 by redsea and was able to keep the nutrients down while everything was dying off.
Now I have this Green/Brown/Red algae on the sand bed that looks a lot like Cyano. I have done 2 water changes and stirred up the sand bed trying to cover the algae up. The stuff comes back the next day stronger than the day before.
Parameters are:
NO3 - less than 4 I used redsea high range test
Po4 - .04 ppm
PH 8.1
Salinity 1.026
Kh - 7.5
calcium -420
Mg -1480 not sure why this is so high I haven't dosed Mg at all.
My plan is to do a lights out period and keep dosing the peroxide and nopox. Any other ideas to rid myself of this?
