mauro Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 I just got YANO BACTERIA IN MY 5 liter pico reef (2 years old) what I can do? I tried Antired (from aquamedica) but nothing happened any animal that eats cyanos? Link to comment
Crakeur Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 cerith and nass snails supposedly eat it. No-Cya-No will clear it up. I have a ton of it in the fuge. Planning on removing it, along with the green slime (also in the fuge) tonight. Link to comment
Brianc_4 Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Ultra lifes Red Slime Remover has worked for me in the past. It will add a ton of oxygen to your water as well, so do not run any sort of skimmer or airstone, while using it. Good luck;) Link to comment
Toooloud Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 The Readlime works well.. But ofcourse we all would rather stay away from Chemicals.. What you want to do is increase the skimmer, Do a water change, and increase the water flow.. Now if you want the quick fix, I would use the UltraLife RedSlime remover. Link to comment
Raise Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 RSR gets my vote also, noticed to ill effects. Link to comment
bautin2 Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 No-Cya-No got rid of my cyano problem....along with my snails. I had about 15 Astreas in a 55 gallon FOWLR when my cyano breakout occured. I tried increasing flow near the sandbed with a powerhead. It cleaned the cyano from the portion that was directly in the flow of the PH but didn't do much for the rest of the tank. I went with the No-Cya-No next which wiped out all the cyano problems. I guess it also wiped out whatever it was my snails were munching on, cause most of them died also. Fish weren't affected by the dosing. My question is: How do some of you guys keep your sand so white and clean? Link to comment
MacnReef Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 RSR gets my vote, also....just used it and a 7g minibow that was covered was clean in 24 hrs. Link to comment
TiGs Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Chemi-Clean worked for me and it doesn't contain erythromycin which is supposed to kill your biological sand filtration.. Link to comment
coralreefengr Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 I second the cerith snails. I don't think my 10 gallon has ever had cyano and I've always had lots of ceriths in there. I probably have 1 per gallon. My new 20 is another story. I have only about 3 ceriths in there and I'm getting some cyano. It's not uncontrollable at this point so I'm not going to get 2 worried since it is barely cycled. CRE Link to comment
