cyano

Mods please delete this post, wrong forum.

I've had some trouble getting even flow in my Max E 260 and I'm currently fighting a Cyano outbreak so looking for advice. Currently the bulk of the flow is coming from two Tunze 6095s at the back of the tank pointed at each other. I have them controlled by my GHL profilux to create random...

Hello everyone, new here after being a lurker for years! Long story and a leaking tank later, I have now owned a 32 gallon biocube for ~1 month. Never had an issue with cyanobacteria in my previous 37 gallon standard aquarium, but I am now. I’ve been battling it for a few weeks now, trying to...

Hey Guys, Just need a bit of help with identifying what I have. I'm leaning towards cyano but would like a second opinion.

Curious if this is Cyano mainly because it is a very bright and thick red, doesn’t seem stringy or dark red like Cyano usually looks. The hammer I picked up from somebody local, got scammed on it, and I believe that coral brought whatever tf that is into my tank I’m also confused because I...

I have this cyano and this green algae. Not sure what to do about it. Nitrates are at 10 and phos at .04. Tank is 7 months old sense I moved it. But been set up for a a year and half. Including before the move. I’ve been dosing nitrate and phos for a while now to keep levels up. Any advice...

Hey all, I’ve been facing some cyano recently, seems pretty persistent and grows on my sand and rock. I just finished a flux treatment, and it started to appear in the end of my week 3 of treatment. It doesn’t hold any oxygen bubbles like Dino’s seems to typically, just grows over sand and rock...

I used it recently to help fight back against cyano, and I see it being used quite often to help with algae. How does it work? Why does it kill the bad stuff, but the tank seems to be perfectly fine? Why is the good bacteria spared? How is it affecting the inverts? Does it accumulate and need...

Back in February I had a huge takeover of cyano, bryopsis and GHA. First photo, I know it was bad. I was in a bad headspace I know what happened: overfeeding, lack of maintenance & topping off with questionable store bought water and the occasional tap water top off. I’ve manually removed...

Hey everyone, so quick question I was having a breakout of Dino’s and I’m sure cyano over the pat 6 months. I ended up breaking down the tank as I’m setting up a 60 cube. I took all the rock out that had all the Dino slime and hosed it off and it’s pretty much outside. Can I reuse the rock...

I was reviewing the Dino Treatment article and the Are You Tired? thread by @mcarroll , and I noticed that many of the pics people were sharing did not have quite the mat structure I am seeing on my rocks. Right now I am waiting to see if anyone in my local group has a microscope and can help...

Hi everyone! We are Eugene and Dasha. Unfortunately, we haven’t had the chance to create our built threads yet, but hopefully with this thread we’ll be able to achieve that too… My husband and I have 3 tanks set up at the moment, my husband’s first tank, a Reefer Max C 250 (65gal), my old...

I’d like to present my lovely urchin friend who likes to eat cyano and clean my frags :) Except he’s not eating the majority of the green algae. I’ve got nassarius and one margarita. What should I get to focus on green algae? 5 gallon that’s about 2 months old.

Hey all! So my tank has only recently been set up, it’s about a month and a half old. I used live rock that was being baked in a bucket for about 4 months prior to setting up, it only was ghost fed, no corals or anything on it, closed system. I’ve recently had this green slime algae pop up...

So rn im having a huge problem with hair algae and Dino it is everywhere. I ran hydrogen peroxide for a today and now was told just to take it all out and buy pods so i bought pods and now we’re waiting. Had to take out peroxide bc it was hurting my corals. Does anyone have any other ways in the...

It won’t let me take off the emergency button but anyways I’m having a weird problem with this orange like slime that was growing on my corals and then I realized it was growing in my sump I’ll attach pictures. It’s not cyano bc I think cyano is red and I used chemiclean awhile ago but it didn’t...

QUESTION: best way to get the HA in the sand bed? My siphon doesn’t seem to pick it up since it’s stuck itself to clumps of sand How it started: So back in December, I left my RODI unit outside and it froze and broke a canister. Took me over a month to fix that so I had not been doing water...

I have a very small outbreak of cyano in my tank. I’ve never had any blossom up so I’m not sure how to mitigate it (outside of mechanically removing the patches). I don’t think I’m over feeding and aside from small hair algae on the rocks and sand my tank looks ok. Do a 12% WC every other week...

hey all, ive had some red/brown spots showing up on my sand, lately its gotten a little worse and I don't really feed a whole lot. I got a test done at my lfs last week and everything was zero, (except nitrate which was like 5ppm or w.e) which can obviously be a problem. ive started to feed on a...

Hey all, I don't have a microscope. Just want to know of there's a way to tell the difference between cyano and Dinos without one. The video attached is what I have in my tank currently. T

I have red cyano that is not at crazy levels - currently just tries to proliferate between the glass and sand which looks ugly af but not terrible. During my weekly water changes I use a baster to siphon out as much as I can, but it’s never enough and always comes right back to where it was...

Hi All, I'm in a bit of a difficult spot with Calothrix and precipitation issues and would love some help here. The system - Reefer 625 G2 set up Aug 28, 2022. 152g water volume. Water Parameters: Salinity - 1.026 Alk - 7.2-8.0 dKh (pretty stable at 7.2-7.3 dKh till I tried to raise it and...

So, no matter what I do, I keep having this reddish/brown coating come back again and again. The system itself has been up and running for 16 months, and I transferred it from a 60-gallon tank to a WaterBox Marine X 110.4 in August of this year. I've tried vacuuming the film off of the sand...

Hello, just got back from a weeks vacation and came back to this. I have no idea what the dark spots on the sand bed are. Also, the slime-looking algae on the rocks. This tanks is coming up on 3 months old and I have done water changes biweekly now since the tank was cycled. Is this just a bad...
