Hello All -
This is my first post to this site. I have a question for all about my saltwater tank. My tank (46gal) is a mix between reef (28lbs of live rock and 40lbs of live sand) and fish (8 fish) and I am having problems with a certain kind of red bacteria. I have been told by my local saltwater experts that it is called cyno (sp) bacteria. It is a hard, redish, purpleish growth that is taking over the rock, some of the sand and the walls of the tank. I have an emperor 400, two jet pumps to move the water and a protein skimmer. Does anyone know how to clean this bacteria up completely? Please help.
