I've been having a heck of a time with some flavor of nuisance algae/cyano. Several months back, it would mat on my sand bed. I could clean it up, vacuum it away, then it would return within 48 hours. I thought removing the sand bed would help, but this stuff just grown on everything. I can get aggressive and clean it away with a razors and brushes, then it grows right back. I did a blackout for 72 hours and the same results. When it starts growing back, it does output bubbles. However, that does not last long and it soon looks like long stringy algae. Am I facing Lyngbya or is it something totally different? Here's some shots of it off gassing oxygen:
Where it was two days ago:
I used Chemi-Clean Sunday night and so far have had zero indication it is working. When I get home from work, I will be doing the recommended 20 percent water change.
What's the direction I need to go in?
