Microbe-Lift Special Blend...Cyano Eradicator?

[FaviaFreak]

anybody have success using special blend to help eradicate cyano?

please don't turn this thread into a lesson in nutrient control and flow, this only pertains to the use of special blend and effects people have obtained using it :wink:

Thanks

It's an anti-biotic. I was worried about using any chemicals, but it worked great.
Apparently Cyano is a bacteria, not an algae so it can be passed tank to tank.
Put the med in, wait 24 hrs, then 25% water change, then turn on skimmer and fresh carbon.

yeah I'm trying to avoid using meds and try a more natural approach to eradication..sounds like it works just like chemi-clean and red slime remover

I use the special blend and it works for me. I dosed the large bottle according to recommended amounts the first time. All cyano disappeared. Now I just keep some on hand and dose whenever I might see a little creeping up somewhere. Jon Warner from Warner Marine turned me onto this product and he uses it himself.

yeah I am intrigued by it and see where special blend pops up in a few threads mentioning cyano eradication. I don't think that many people are aware of it because they are looking for a quick fix instead

did you dose full amounts or play it safe?

 

[Dowtish]

I dosed just over the safe level. I didnt quite double up or whatever it says on the bottle about saltwater. Also, I would highly suggest dosing right before leaving the house. This stuff stinks! My girlfriend was not happy...she thought the sewage lines had backed up.:xd:

Sonny-

since this is a nano system 24g and no skimmer would I be required to run a skimmer to use these 2 products?

+1 I would also be interested in the results of using these in a small system w/ No skimmer.
