if it's not one thing, it's another!
i just discovered i have cyanobacteria, and i have a few questions...
so far i haven't seen it on the substrate, but now realized that i've seen patches of it between the glass and substrate for a while. it may have been there for quite some time; this is why some of my plants roots have rotted.
right now all i've seen is a greasy film at the top of my tank that smells sulphury and is bright bluegreen when scraped off (with all the duckweed).
can i wait the time it takes for bigals to ship erythromycin?
does it harm the fish? and how quickly?
how fast can it kill my plants?
will a diatom filter help?
if these are stupid questions, they are due to my poor knowledge of this particular bacteria. i'm starting to read up on it, but hope that someone can answer question #1 so i know how fast i have to move...
thanks,
cat
