My tank is 6 months old and recently I have been battling red cyano, Initially i thought this was due to the high phosphate reading of 0.4, so I cleaned the tank of all the red slime including the sump and fitted a reactor with rowaphos. Now my phosphates are 0.0-0.1 using salifert test kit. However my nitrates are around 20, which i think is feeding the red slime? It grows overnight which suggests its not the lighting. The re growth has been slower however with the lower phosphates. Any advice is welcome its driving me crazy!
