So recently I've run into a bit of a cyanobacteria problem. I've kept my nitrates around 20 ppm since I've started the tank as that seems to be the sweet spot for my macros to grow. My most recent reading from the Hanna HR checker was 15 ppm. I had dosed Microbacter7 to fix the diatom bloom I had a few months ago but that ended up working too well and some of my macros began to starve and go translucent as the nitrates dropped so I stopped dosing it. After the diatoms I had a good month or two of a perfectly clean tank until the cyano came in. Any ideas on how to reduce the cyano? Obviously I try to physically take out as much as I can but my trochus snails never seem to finish it off. I've been thinking about adding ceriths but I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions. Thanks!
Parameters:
Nitrates: 15 ppm
Phosphates: ~0.1 ppm (unsure how accurate that is since I used an API kit)
Alk: 11
Ammonia & Nitrites: 0
