I have been posting questions about algea and cyano lately. My question after reading the information in the article section is this...is there a way to get rid of cyno without treating it chemically? I have heard the only way to get rid of it is with the use of products like Chemi Clean...
Also I dont know that I DO indeed have cyno. Its red diatoms but never turns into slime.
In order to ward off algea and cyno, I replaced all of my RO filters, change all lights, cleaned my skimmer, decreased light from 8 hours to 7 hours per day, feed less and every other day, increased flow, rinsed all spounges (2) in my sump, running a phosban reactor. Did I miss anything?
My PO4 reading a couple of weeks ago was 2. Now its less than 1. It seems the algea is slowing down...dont know.
ANy help is appreciated.
Also readings are trates, trites, ammonia, all 0. CA 400 and AK 2.5-3.
