So I have had cyano a few times before, I'm familiar with it. But this one is different than any I have experienced before.
- it's stubborn, it's difficult to remove previous was super easy to turkey Baster off
- there's no oxygen bubbles that I've experienced before
-slightly more matt color than the bright red I've had before
- it isn't really flowing in parts that I've experienced before but very dense and just on the rock. Hard to explain but previously when having cyano it wasn't as dense as this was
Tank stuff I experienced an alk drop a month or so ago due to doser malfunction, lost one Acro and caused a couple others to loose some tissue.
Nutrients are always low, I do feed and dose reasonably heavy but have good export and carbon dose (have been carbon dosing for 6 months so shouldn't be attributed to this). Nitrates stable between .75-1 phosphate never budges off 0.03. Calcium stable at 420 alk back to stable at 7.7
Tank had cyano around 7 months ago was dealt with and hasn't been back for around 5-6 months.
Recently my uv bulb went, so tank that is used to uv running 24/7 hasn't been running for the past 2 weeks while I wait for replacement bulb.
So my question is do you think it's just a slightly different cyano than I'm used to, or something else?
