Cyano under a microscope

[bobssecrtsn]

I’m having some cyano issues in my peninsula, mainly on the other side of the tank that has the lower flow. I have 2x Neptune WAV 1x mp60 2x mp40.

for reference I know if I use chemi clean I’ll get Dino’s. For now I think I may just ride it out.
I’m using microbacter clean and blowing my rocks out daily.

this post isn’t a help post. But more of an thread where people can complain about their ugly phase

ps. My tanks been up for 7 months now.

I am dealing with some cyano as well as GHA. The cyano, at least in my system, is a warning that my nitrates are crashing. Eventually the uglies will give way to coralline. I'm ready.

heh. I think complaining is actually a great response to the uglies.
It's probably more productive than a lot of things people try to fight against early stages that should just be allowed to pass.

We might not love the uglies but pods and other CUC members sure do.
