    Thanks for the recommendation. I actually believe that the cyano outbreak was started by a nutrient deficiency. At the time the cyano showed up, my phosphates and nitrates were both 0. I've been feeding more and even added a couple more fish to keep nutrients up.

    Thank you Chowberg. I don't think that flow was the problem as the cyano on the sand was continuously being blown away but then would grow back. I'm pretty sure the problem was with a bacterial imbalance, but no matter how many different types of bacteria I added, the cyano out-competed the new...

    I have been dealing with a bad cyano outbreak for the last couple of months and it was really starting to discourage me. I was determined to solve the problem by finding the root cause and not jumping straight to chemicals. What a mistake that was. I read and tried many different approaches...
