Effective Cyano treatment?

[Jon]

What's a really good/safe cyano treatment? I currently have a 12g nano with
2 baby false percs, small RBTA, hammer, and inverts. Also a CPR Aquafuge
with cheato. Any tips would be great, thanks!

The best / cheap / safe treatment are to have good current flow where you
want to remove cyano and good circualtion. Your Protein Skimmer should
intake / import / pickup those flowing nutrient.

- Good current flow.
- Efficient Protein Skimmer.

I read that cyano is when you have not enough
nitrate for GHA but too much phosphate to have clean water ;-)

Normal common cause is high in nutrient.

Acording to Sprung, there are several cyanobacteria common in our tanks.
Some of them appear when there is high, some when low in nutrients...
Go figure.

I do not know much about the low.... etc.
Normally it is the high in nutrient that cause bacteria out break.

The only time I can see in low nutrient are when die-off bacteria occured.
No food or element for the bacteria to use to function etc. But in a reef
tank or close environment, normally are in high nutrient. Your tank will
alway need to get feed by / with something. Most people overfeed their tank
anyway.

Interesting, I would think the opposite is true.

Red slime remover works well:

It's always better to correct the problem at the source, but if it gets
REALLY bad, you can get rid of it with this stuff then work on keeping rid
of it.

I have some cyano in the tank - they bloomed every time after
I changed a large amount of water wanting to lower high nitrates...
Current bloom of cyano in my tank is connected to introducing
DSB in the sump/refugium which depleted almost whole supply of
nitrates. I still have a lot of phosphates, but almost no nitrates.
Green algae living on nitrates in the water cannot survive now
and I see major die off of green hair algae, but cyanobacteria,
synthesizing free nitrogen instead of using nitrates thrives
currently in my tank.
Instead of using chemicals to kill cyano I plan to lower the
phosphates with next couple water changes... wish me good luck :-)

Good luck.
It use phosphate also.... and any other nutrient.
If you have good Current Flow, your PS should pick it up.

Cyano or algae bloom will occur for one or two day and it will be gone. It
only happen when my tank experience a dramatic changes or introduce
something that I did not notice. My Tang and other critter will take care of
it.
