Could be, but I use RO water only!

I think im going to treat it as if it is cyano and see what happens.

Decided im going to do a three day complete tank blackout to try and rid of this 'cyano'.
Along with blacking out the tank I am going to put in new carbon, put GFO back on, and skim HARD.

I have heard good things about this so I am hoping its gonna work!

I did the three day blackout and all of it went away just as I was told it would... but.. within 3 days it was all back again.. I'm kind of at a loss because my PO4 is 0.03 and Nitrates are negligible as well. Perhaps the reason for the low numbers is due to the rapid consumption of the P04 and nitrates by the cyano.. but I am unsure..

In a couple weeks I will try again but am going to try and pick as much out as I can first.
