Every tank is different though, and one thing that surely seems to mess with cyano is heavy flow. I'm of the belief that 'too much flow' is a non-existent fairy tale. You could probably double your flow and see nothing but happy corals and fish developing muscle  |
I’ve never really nutrients at 0.. but n was pretty darn close when the cyano appeared. It isn’t too bad, really and only in my frag tank. It isn’t in the display at all.. and yes, my flow is not great in the frag tank. I might find another pump to add in there.
I have been dosing AF Build and Probio s nightly to copy Wally’s recipes of zeobak and coral snow. It seem sort of stagnant. It isn’t spreading or thriving right now..
I turned my skimmer back up as well over the past week. I’m sure 3 weeks of almost no skimming didn’t help things, either.
I’ll do a frag tank clean out and wc this weekend.
And maybe do some tests.. haven’t tested anything but alk in a while. It has been steady between 6.7-7.
