My plan was to add it Friday and then when I get back to the office Monday do my regular weekly water change. Is that too long to wait?

I would wait till Monday to add, that way when you notice the cyano starting to let go you can vacuum it off.

Oh wow its that quick? Maybe I'll just do it Friday and hang around a bit and let it do its thing

I have better success with treatment and then a 36 hr darkout. Would always return till I used both methods together.

Unfortunately no matter what it will never be completely dark. This tank is in my office which is in a big glass office building so sunlight gets in at all times of the day.

It normally takes a day to start working, but adding and not being able to observe your tank for two days seems like a gamble

What ever you do, make sure to add an airstone to the display as the dissolved o2 levels will drop and you risk loosing livestock as a result.

Thanks. I think I'm going to wait until Monday morning so that I can observe the whole day.

Thanks! I am going to throw the small airstone from my 10g freshwater hospital tank at home into it.
