MedcinMn Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I'm starting to get cyano in my AP 24 and have been trying to avoid medicating. It's an area about 3" x 2". My water parms are good with the exception of a trace of nitrates as well as phosphates. I do 4 gal water changes weekly and have the water flow directed on that area. For livestock I have a small percula and diadema basslet, a few hermits and snails, Emerald crab and Fire shrimp. I feed every other day and only until the fish stop eating. I siphon it out, it comes back. I swish it around, it comes back. The tanks been set up for several months with no other issues, the fish and all coral seem to be thriving. Thoughts? Link to comment
idog Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Use a product like PhosBan or Seagel to get rid of the phospates. It's not medication, it just removes what you don't want and doesn't alter chemistry. Cyano is just a storm we all must whether at some point. As your tank stabalizes, it should go away on its own.
