Cyano with no nutrients?

Since you're already running a Radion my circumstances don't really apply to you and I'm just consuming bandwidth. But maybe too much sunlight or red from the Radion?

Yeah I thought about the light as it didn't happen till I got to 80%. Ill wipe it off the board and see what happens

That would be interesting to see your results. So far I only have my red and green channel up to 30% as it is. I wonder if I'll see a recurring problem when I bump my intensities up more.

Since I started using MB7 more than a year ago, have never had a problem again with cyano. And my P04 and N03 is nowhere near zero. And I use Radions.

Microbacter 7 from Brightwell Aquatics. Adds beneficial bacteria which out competes cyano. A must use with bio pellets.

Many LFS's carry it.

Thank you

The label on mb7 says it reduces organic carbon. Since prodibio is a form of carbon dosing will it affect the prodibio performance.

Sorry for the inexperience lol
