Its bad... lol...
My tank is almost a year old now and I have just had another outbreak of it. I am not too worried about it, I just vaccuum it out with water changes. Its due to improper nutrient export. (Mind my spelling) Clean your skimmer often.. like at least 2wice a week. cut back on the feeding a bit too... Anyone???

My tank is 3 months old and I'm experiencing my first bad outbreak. Covers entire sand bed. No nitrates, and calcium and alkalinity all test out fine. I read on a sticky here that nitrates will be hidden as the cyano is eating them. Am I fine to just vacuum it and just wait it out, or should I do some drastic water changes???

I know most people are against treating it but I battled cyano constantly until I treated it. My parameters always read zero so I really don't know what is wrong. I have no doubt that it is caused by improper nutrients, but I have not been able to figure out how to fix it. So I treated my tank and had no cyano for almost a year, it just came back and I treated it again a couple weeks back.
