Morning everyone,
I've been dealing with an outbreak of cyano for about 2 months now and im growing increasingly frustrated with the situation. At first i wasn't sure if what i was dealing with was in fact cyano so i visited serveral of my LFS. Every single person said it was cyano and recommended red slime remover. Well, since then ive gone through about 4 different treatments as well as weekly water changes and there has been ZERO impact. I turned the skimmer off as well as removed my carbon filtration and still nothing. Im starting to entertain the idea of gradually removing my sand bed as well as blacking out my tank. Im here to ask for any advice you guys can give. Will have my parameters up later tonight or tomorrow afternoon. Forgot to mention above that my tank is about 8-10 months old.
Equipment:
IceCap 1k Gyre (40%)
Hydor koralia nano 240
Stock RSM130 Protein skimmer
Stock RSM130 Return pumps
Ai Prime HD
Tunze 3152 ATO
Heres a picture of the "Cyano" im dealing with.
