It's a simple organism
 It needs light and nutrients (not much) to survive.

Adding GFO would also be a good idea. Having low or no phosphates in your tank will definitely help.

Hi,
Limiting phosphate will definitely slow down the cyano. The cheapest and easiest method to get rid of Phosphate is with Foz Down. Here is a link to the product website. http://www.oceanfreshaquarium.com/foz-down/ I use the Foz Down in my SPS culture system to control phosphate and I use VSV dosing for the nitrates. Cheers, Tim

I have rowaphos (sp) in a sock placed at the first baffle in the sump. I don't have filter socks/holder but was told this would work regardless. I'm concerned I don't have enough flow.
I will check out the products noted and see if I can turn this around. I took this pic last night, all issues are in the front on both sides of the tank, flow seems to blow the sand where the bare spot is.... thanks for the help!!

are you removing what you can manually?? if you suck out as much as you can, shut your lights down for a couple of days, do a hefty water change and increase flow it should dissapear in no time
