Heys guys,
just wanted to share my cyano experience. I went on vacation for 2 weeks to come back to a tank full of cyano. I had topped off my pellets a few weeks back and have been having an ongoing Phosphate issue due to a bad RO membrane. I knew it was an imbalance in my tank so I didnt stress. I did one water change and sucked the sheeting cyano off all my sand and rocks. Next day it was back. I also got ahold of some Coral Snow by Zeo. When the lights go out algae breaks downs and releases some of its AAs that its made of. Dosing coral snow in the morning allows the substance to bond with this waste and gets skimmed out more effectively. After adding coral snow along with my weekly bacteria maintenance dosage my cyano was gone in 11 days. The thing I find most interesting is that he cyano went away even though my phosphates are still at .1 . This stuff is pretty good and worth a try.
