Green Birdsnest and Cyano
 
I have a green birds nest that has cyano growing on it in places. How do I
go about removing the cyano before it does damage? I have tried taking it
out and cleaning some of it off, but it didn't work, or I didn't do it
right.

TIA

Darin

If it's cyno, it usually has a fairly loose grip. Simply take a powerhead or
a plain ole turkey baster, and blow it off.

I would use that same turkey blaster to blow it off and suck back into the
blaster.

I think it's cyano, not sure. It is red and has air bubbles on it when its
in the tank. When I first placed the frag in the tank, it was in front of a
power head. That's when I noticed the algae. I have moved the power head
since then. I will try the tooth brush again and see if I can remove any.

Thanks

Darin
