Cynao?

[GoTakeANap]

How long can I leave my lights off before my corals will need light? Wont this help get rid of Cynao with no chemical treatment?

The reason for cyano is one of two reasons; it's a relatively new tank and it's just part of the "aging" process, OR is a nutrient problem. I personally stay away from the chemical treatments because that does cure the root cause. My suggestion is to increase the frequency of water changes and/or increase the volume of water changes.

Use the Special Blend...no lights out, no chemi clean, no effects on your skimmer or livestock. It will take a few days to a few weeks to work but will fix your problem.

Increase your water flow. Cyano loves low current, so give it the opposite.

I used that red slime remover and it took it all out then did a water change and now everything is good besides the hair algae
