About a month ago I posted pics of a red fluffy substance growing in my 55 gal FO tank. The substrate also had a rust colored growth on top of it. I was informed that it was Cyanobacteria caused by excessive nutrients and poor water flow in the water column. Suggested remedy was major water changes and improved circulation all of which have been accomplished with a through cleaning, weekly water changes and the addition of an additional circulation pump.
However today the rust color is still actively accumulating on the bottom along with black/gray streaks IN the gravel base.
Im about at wits end with tank. Its just over four years old and has been plagued with water quality problems since its second year.
Sure could use some additional insight before I pull out the rest of my hair.
