Cyano bacteria

[Juliano]

I did a big water change unplugged my skimmer put a air stone for aeration dosed the chemi clean in my 80 gallon rr deep blue waited the 48hrs checked today an still have some cyano in there here is the readings I had before dosing the chemi clean
Ph=8.2
Amonia=1.0
Nitrite=0ppm
Nitrate=10ppm
Question should I do another water change an try the chemi clean one more time? I'm not feeding any brine just pellets an stopped feeding reef roids until I get this resolved... all feed back is good feed back thank you

Did you dose 1.5x the instructed dose?

 

[Juliano]

No I did for 70 gallons cause I figured the rock work takes away an sump just ads a few gallons

 

[Juliano]

So basically 7ml u think I should clean an re dose chemi or just add to what I dosed 2 days ago?

What you added 2 days ago is gone. Also there is a few things that you could be seeing. Most instances a person has more than 1 species in the mix so it is a good idea to have it looked at under a scope.
The dosage is 1.5 drops per gallon the boxed dosage or a person will be treating more than once (up to 4 times)
So you will need 105 drops for 70 gallons if using the liquid. I do not use the powder so I don't know what the box says on that.

I'm using the powder an it's 1ml for every 10gal

I'm using the powder an it's 1ml for every 10gal

1.5ml for every 10 for spirulina

 

[Juliano]

1.5ml for every 10 for spirulina

So should I up the dose to maybe 10 instead of the 7 I did? Or re dose the 7ml?

Yes it would be 10.5 for your tank.

You can run the air if you would like to but CC does not impact the O2 much assuming there is a skimmer. Sorry should have added that. Watch for No3-Po4 spikes

Ok so just test the no3 an po4 after dose?

 

[twilliard]

Yes make sure you have water ready if you see the spikes.
