Cyano removal

[konstantyn75]

Hello team,
I've got Red Sea 92 gallon reef, got everything running for over a year with LPS and SPS successful corals. Now I have red slime cyano bacteria in one corner and it is spreading. My Nitrates and Phosfates are OK. I am about to shock the aquarium with red slime remover chemical. Please could you advise if I should proceed with it or other choices are more adequate. Again. my water parameters are within normal limits of the coral reef.
Thank a lot for your help!!!!!

You said it's in just one corner, but starting to spread out. Any chance that the corner is an area of low flow? Sometimes cyano can be due to areas of very low flow.
Also, what exactly are your parameters?

I had a bad cyano outbreak that I could not get under control despite lots of water changes and various filter media. I ran a couple doses of chemi clean for about 4-5 days and it completely wiped it out. Has not been back since. Just make sure to use an airstone to keep the water oxygenated.

Hi Funwithreefer, thank you very much, I think I'll do chemi clean, just ordered air pump with several air stones. Thanks for your message

Hi TJ, I';ve installed extra powerhead and syphoned the red slime, still appears and spreads to my live rock.

A uniquely powerful option

Build Thread - Cook's 105 Planet Aquariums Crystaline Reef - 48x20

I've had my tank going for two years next month. I'm moving this build over from another forum, so the time stamps aren't going to reflect the original's. I will try to document the original dates as I go. It's also an opportunity to edit my build, there was so much at the beginning I didn't...

same method, takedown cleaning + skip cycle reset, used on four different tank invasions

Algae Identification

Any opinions on what type of algae this is growing on my rocks and sand bed?

the method is powerful because it’s physical work, not lucky dosing. We don’t need to know parameters or species of invasion. We only need reefers who are ready to rock


try all other methods first, then when ready…
