Cyano problems
 

How do I get rid of this stuff? Red slime (the yellow stuff) does not work. What else can I try?

It is a 9 gallon aquamedic nano wave but the stuff seems to follow me!!

Have you tried Chemi-Clean? What type of flow do you have?

It is a 9 gallon aquamedic nano wave with the normal pump and a Koralyia.. nano 400 gph powerhead.

I have tried Chemiclean, the US version (red slime remover), and some other powerful chemical and the crap keeps blooming.

If your nitrates and phosphates are already low leaving your lights off for 2 or 3 days should take care of it. When you run your lights again start with 1/2 day and slowly work back up to normal. The main thing is finding what is feeding it.

I get Cyano when I get lazy and don't rinse frozen Mysis before feeding. Whatever liquid that is in the Mysis block seems to fuel Cyano. Also overfeeding in general is a cause.

Decreasing the amount of light and doing more frequent water changes got rid of cyano for me.

i hate the stuff too
 

i used to get a bloom about once a munth but now i use the zeovit rocks to remove nitrates and phospates and it seams to have stoped i dont use all the zeofit stuff just the rocks and they seam to have cleared up alot of my problems i have way less algee in oh and some carbon aswell
