[QUOTE="Crustaceon, post: 10354957, member: 117250"] It’s more of a question of what else struggles at lower nutrient levels that allows something like cyano to thrive. We see it bloom frequently at high nutrient levels simply due to the over abundance of N&P. I’ve always assumed this was also the case at low nutrients where less hardy microbial life quickly starves and either creates newly available habitat for cyano, or releases a food source for it. Cyano tends to exist in our tanks no matter what we do, detectable or not. It seems like it’s just opportunistic if the right conditions present themselves. I’d be curious to see more official laboratory testing on the subject and if those parameters could be determined. [/QUOTE]
