I see nothing wrong with disagreement The problem is that it too easy to point a finger at what is esentially an unknown. Cyanobacter is one of the oldest organisms on this planet. For that reason it appears to find it easy to live in many situations.

It has been myexperience that it does very well in new tanks. In my experience, once it is gone, it does not seem to return unless a completely new tank is set up.

The only recurring factor in MY situation is the fact that I use Chemipure religiously. I do no other nutrient export. I honestly don't know if that is a contributing factor. Nor do I claim that it is.

The only other factor has been time. After some time has passed Cyano just does not reappear, in my particular case anyway.
