I want it gone!!!

If it looks good you can cut back, if you think it could be healthier it needs to be fed every few days at least.

oye, sorry, been one of those days at work.

Okay so here is a update. I added more flow and that helped a little, I cut back on feeding, and I also got a red slime remover but it won't be here till Friday. I also got some phosphate remover so now phosphates are at 0. And till the red slime remover gets here I am doing a blackout. But turning lights on about 30 minutes for feeding and such every over day.

IMO,-cyano bacteria is part of a healthy reef, I would never put that stuff in my tank, it kills more than just the cyano, if you want some for free I have a bunch.

Another issue with using the red slime remove is if it doesnt kill all of it, you can get resistant strains of cycano that are even harder to get rid of.

Your tank is still pretty new though, let it run its cycle.

Well the reason I am acting quickly to this and not running the cycle is it is covering my corals I have already lost a few heads of a candy cane and almost a frogspawn. Could this possibly not be the cyano? The only reason i
Suggest this is because when I turn the tank light on there is no algae and corals are fine and starting to open but when I get home algae on corals and when I get the off they get worse. And wicked demon do you know what else it kills? Thanks for all the help by the way

that doesnt sound like cyano, are you sure you dont have dinos?

 

[the_fish_man]

Pretty sure it isn't. Looks like all the red slime i have seen. But I will post a pic tonight

 

[little_fish]

If its not, then i would say you have a problem with nutrient export if it can grow that quick.

 

[the_fish_man]

Well with my recent tank crash a lot of my CUC has died. Although at the meet I am going to buy them back

I have cyano that grows in my fuge. It is completely gone right when I turn on the lights but a couple hours later its all over the sandbed. Im pretty sure cyano waxes and wanes with light cycles, at least mine does. Its in the fuge though so I dont care much about it...

 

[the_fish_man]

^^^^^^^
that is exactly what mine does. So I am hoping this blackout will help.

 

[phillipj2]

How's your flow that's huge because if you have a lot of flow it can't settle.

 

[Wicked Color]

Your tank is simply having nutrient control issues, water changes and competitors are the way to go IMO, maybe even media filtration.
I dont know everything about chemi clean, but I know its an anti bacterial, and we have a lot of different bacterias in our tanks, it wont kill them all, but its not going to only kill one type.
Flow, new bulbs, bluer temp bulbs, water changes and CUC should all be parts of the over all solution.
If all you do is eliminate one of the consumers you will have excessive nutrient issues, and create an oprotunity for another pest. Hair algae, dinos, aiptasia, dictoya, bryopsis, will all have one lesscompetitor for their food, and can get out of control.

How about carbon dosing? I stopped using my bio pellets because they are known to add cyano which I have but I started dosing vinegar, less prone than vodka and sugar to cause cyano.
