Yeah that is cyano. I used redcyano RX and it was gone in 2 days. Tried the natural way for a while but no luck. Just make sure that you replenish plenty of healthy bacteria with water changes and stuff, and don’t zero out your phos and nitrate. Probably end up with some other outbreaks. The green hair I suggest a dolabella sea hare. Monsters. Diatoms are *******.

Ok thanks alot but question so I should go back too doing my weekly water changes? Because I have stopped for a while now do too reading that I should halt water changes during this outbreak since nutrients are already at zero and changing water will only keep them there
