Cyanno

I'm having cyanno issues all my levels are perfect I'm not feeding at all I only have 2 corals could it be dead zones?????

You're not getting any readings because that's what cyano feeds off of is nitrates and phosphates! Keep up your water changes ( bigger and more frequently). And make sure you are using RO/DI water. Not tap

I do water changes 2x a week and I only use ro water

 

[Frankie_Garcia]

Is it orangish?

 

[Ingy]

It might be because I'm on my phone and the pics are wee, but I can't see any cyano. There might be some diatoms tho.

 

[Frankie_Garcia]

I'm thinking diatoms as well

 

[uh.oh...]

How old is your tank? Cyano and diatoms are usually just part of the cycle

Def look like diatoms.

My tank is only 3 weeks old but half of my water is cycled with my live rock and live sand but I've had cyanno issues before

I'll post a pic tomorrow on the love rock I think my circulation just isn't get everywhere

Try moving your power heads to the ends of your tank pointer at each other. It's most likely diatoms. They feed silica and will burn themselves out in time. All new tanks go thru a series of maladies. Next may be a Cynao. Make sure to use RO/"DI" water Good luck!
