No species lasts forever. None of the species which were around a few million years ago are still around today. Whether it's global warming, an asteroid, a mega-volcano, a pathogen, nuclear war, another ice ago, or something else, we will be wiped out one day, and other species will evolve to exploit the new environmental conditions. Life would be stagnant if it didn't work that way.

Dont lose perspective here ... talking about something is not the same as fretting about something ( unless you start digging bunkers and stuff like that )

There's a book called "the Judas Strain". It's actually a very good book. Takes a chapter or two to get hooked, but I proceeded to read it in two days on the beach in Mexico last year. The catch...it talks about Cyano...

OK you proved me wrong. Ironic that the species that has outlived all the others is growing in the aquarium 10 feet away from me.

Eh...Im not scared of Cyano anymore...Coral snow works wonders

EDIT: Oooo...maybe Cyano will end mankind! It will adapt to live out of water and cover EVERYTHING...

We would need a LOT of coral snow to try to deal with that mess!

Well in combination with upping the dosage of ZEObak it does. I don't think it really would do much on its own...I know people have tried but I have heard it really doesn't work so well in a non ZEO system.

Zeozyme does, if you don't use the zeo system i'd use it instead of coral snow. Coral snow is sort of meant to be mixed with other products when dosed. Zeozyme is pricy though.
