Ive been keeping fresh water for a loooong time allways cured cyano (green) by adding carbon. The only way I can see adding more nitrate helping would be it would increase the number of beneficial bacteria but that could take up to a full cycle. Are you not just fueling the cyano in the mean time?

I realise that there are many opinions as far as fishkeeping goes,but every piece of literature I've ever read aswell as my personal experiences say phosphate and nitrate are the cause of cyano not the cure and overstocking your tank will lead to ammonia build up and a palethera of algaes and cyano's Where are you getting this from that nitrate is a cure for cyano I'm wondering?
