Cannot get rid of cyano!

[waynemah]

I'm running about 90% Marco rock... The rock was full of life and coraline after the 4 month mark. I had a Cyano problem after adding a couple MP40's and a chunk of live rock

Sorry Wayne, but full of life and bacteria cultures are not related at all. The bacteria that are beneficial to your tank are microscopic and you cannot see them with the naked eye.....

I agree 100%, I can't see microscopic bacterial cultures with my naked eye... ... But the corals and fish I purchased from your store are still alive and thriving, that must count for something.

Im not saying that your tank isnt healthy, only if you are having issues with cyano or any other nuissance algae, that the reason could be the way you culture bacteria to dry rock.....

Thanks for the advice guys. But wouldn't physically removing the cyano, remove the phosphates or neutriants causing it?

I've removed it like 5 times now and it always comes back 2-3 days later

Lol thanks. But I'm kind of keeping that as a last resort.

Cuz if I use a chemical to kill the cyano, wont it just release everything it's absorbed back into the water?
