cyano
i really noticed it in my aqua-medic reactors.just in my nanochloropus and tetraselimis the cyano would start to grow where there shouldn't be anything but my cultures.since i switched away from h2ocean i don't have that problem anymore.and in my tank i also add sea snow,which also helps
|
well I use reef crystals for salt. I dose for all the essential things in my tank. And to me a spike is anything over 10 for trates and 1.5 for phosphates. I usually do 10-15g change every 2 weeks just cuz so I am in a regular changing system

Where is the mystery? Of course you're going to have algae and slime problems if you have detectable nitrate and phosphate like that. Beef up your filteration, cut back on feeding, increase the flow, remove some fish, change your bulbs (if they're old) etc... But probably more important, you need to let your tank stabalize and mature. A cyano phase is very common in relatively new systems or systems that are constantly disrupted so give it time and if everything else is as it should be it will go away on its own.

im having the same problem. I have really good flow. Could me having to change bulbs be the cause for this slime outbreak?
and my clam wont open I saw its mantle was curled up a few days ago 50g DT ,20g sump, skimmer 2 korilla powerheads both at 1200gph and a rio17 return pump |

Cheminclean is not completely reef safe. It will kill some sponges. If you don't have sponges, then it's ok. Some specie of sponges live in symbiotic relation with some type of cyano and those are killed when we use chemiclean.
I have a very rare sponge in my tank than I really don't want to lose and last time I used chemiclean I almost lots it. It became all white and I only saved it by changing it into another tank. Quote:
