Cyano?

MikeDesjean · Sep 5, 2022

Just curious if this is Cyano. Vac cleaned and it came back not right away but in the same day.

seems to kind of be clearing up though. The picture where it’s clearly worse is a few days ago and the other is from just now.

Thanks!

Ok thanks. Just wanted another opinion before I decide what the next step is.

Dose live phyto and use dr tims refresh every 2 days for 6 days max. The bacteria literally kills the cyano or outcompetes it in a hurry. Took 2 treatments along with live phyto and my cyano issue was gone

Is that the same as microbacter 7? Got some at lfs but am afraid of bottoming out nitrates as I am running low right now.
