Green stuff on LR

[mich2599]

I’ve been battling this stuff for at least a month now. Have done some research and it seems like it’s green cyano. It comes off very easy when I scrub it off. I have chaeto running in my sump, have a protein skimmer, and various types of cleaning crew ( 9 hermits, 3 nassarious, 1 conch, 10 astrea snails) but only the astrea snails seem to be eating some of it. I do clean it and use a net to get most it out. Yet in 4 days or so it’s back. Any idea of how to get rid of it? any tips?

Not sure if it's cyano... I have the same issue. I vacuum but it always comes back. Only thing that somewhat keeps it in check are my urchins. They est this stuff.

I read a post here of a person having a similar problem & the conclusion was that it was green cyano. Idk if it right though.

Green Cyanobacteria would be my guess as well.

Keep your nutrients in check, manually remove what you can, maybe increase the amount of flow in the tank etc.
