Hey!
So, a month ago my sump cracked and I moved all of my live rock to a temporary one (It's really just a plastic box where I putted in all of my live rock, sump and Chaeto) but I've been noticing a significant increase in algae in these past few weeks that looks different from other algae I've seen.
I've been battling with undetectable nutrients for a month or so, until yesterday where I detected 15ppm Nitrate.
It's also important to note that yesterday one of my heaters broke and I had to run activated carbon for 24 hrs.
Is this indeed Cyano or something else?
What method would you recommend to eradicate it?
Thanks!
Pulsing Xenia
Mushroom Corals

3 Mexican Turbos
A bit of Chaeto in the Sump
Skimmer OFF since last month because of low nutrients (finally getting better btw)
Ammonia: 0 (API test kit)
Nitrite: 0 (API test kit)
Nitrate: 15 (API test kit)
Phosphates: undetectable (Salifert Test kit)
Kh: 8.0 (Salifert Test kit)
Temp: 24.5-25.0 ºc
Salinity: 1.024-1.023 (Refractometer)
