cyano algae

Hey, I've been battling one or two of the three that I listed in the subject. Ive been trying to maintain nitrates at 2-5, and phosphate has been 0.05. I have been dosing neonitro and Microbacter7. Here's a video of the algae under the microscope:

The tank is about 4-5 months old now and I can tell that the water parameters are becoming extremely stable with no fluctuations. I am starting to see purple/pink spots all over my rocks which I assume is coralline algae. The rocks are still super green and slimy though which I was told is...

Ok, so I have a 15 gallon with a clownfish, royal gramma, cleaner shrimp and cuc. I was having bryopsis issues, got rid of that but now I have green slime algae and red cyano in full force. Lights run from 10:00 to 9:00. I feed the fish every other day and reef roids once, maybe twice a week. I...

I'm just so tired of it and feel like I'm at my whits end. It's been a long 4 month battle and I've tried next to everything except chemical, which I rather just not do. I know I've read plenty of raving review on Chemiclean and others, but many of those just have the problem come right back...

Hello, I have a new tank that’s been running for almost 3 months and a few days ago I started noticing my rock, sand, and glass have started turning brown. My tank has been cycled since week 2 so I don’t think it’s diatoms. I had something like this when I started a tank a few years ago and...

good morning everyone, I have an 80 gallon waterbox frag tank and have been getting a bad outbreak of black Cyano carpeting my sand. We recently moved into the 23rd floor of a skyscraper and our walls are windows, the tank is getting blasted by natural sunlight everyday. I’m unsure how to...

Hey guys, I have Cyanobacteria, pretty positive, as it consistently creates mats of algae on my sand bed, rock, and corals. It’s more of a clinging issue to my zoas, urchin, and rocks. It appears red and won’t stop coming back. I have tested my parameters to 0 nitrates, ammonia, phosphates...

Hello, im about to dose BlueLife RedCyano, but im kind of confused about the water change (when). These are the instructions on the Box So when i add the Dose for my tank, i should wait 1, 2 or 3 days and after is completely gone, should i make the water change? What happens if within 1 day...

I recently got this stuff to show up it looks like brown hair algae with bubbles on it

Help!!! Im getting frustrated with this red stuff in my tank. Looks like cyano, but not too sure. Is there a way to get rid of it fast? Driving me nuts. I was never able to get rid of it in my old tank and I would hate for it to happen again.

Hi all! I've been struggling with a terrible algae problem (looks way worse in person) my parameters are as follows Salinity 1.026 Nitrate 5 Phosphate 0 Alk 9 Magnesium 1410 Calcium 410 The tank has been around for around 6 months. I have had cyano in the past and this is different I did a 3...

I believe this is green cyano. I have tried other cyano treatments on the past for red cyano but I had fish die off. (I followed the instructions). It was chemipure I think. I am just looking for Ideas please.

Hi All, I've got this reddish/brownish thing that keeps growing in my sand. I stir the sand almost daily, but the next day it's back on my sand bed. It almost looks like diatoms, but I'm not sure that's what it is. My tank is a little over a year old. At this point I'm thinking either dino or...

so apparently I mixed up my waste water container with my water change container for a total of two water changes, one each week and I think the cause of it is this little issue. My tank water smells a bit funny, did a 25% water change to hopefully balance out the 20% I screwed up. I use a...

Hello all, I have red slime on my sandbed, and I also have corals on the sandbed. I’m just wondering if it’s partially on them, will it end up killing them? I have a plan to get rid of red slime by doing a 20% water change, clearly out back chamber where food gets stuck (I have a biocube), and...

I’m sure my cyano outbreak must be from poor water circulation or poor filtration.What affordable powerheads do you recommend for a 40 gallon? Or do I’m need a better one ? I have a voyager 2 with 800 gph circulation pump installed in my tank. And I will be upgrading my canister filter to a 10...

I am reaching out to the community of REEFER PROS to help me rebound my nano to success. I have been neglecting it big time due to the normal obstacles of life and I could def use some coaching to get my baby back to its prestige self, I’m not really a novice, but I’m def, not a pro. I hope to...
