This Hanna checker is very nice and easy to use.

not too sure if you can or not i imgione theres always going to be a small amount no matter what you do, either way its a low reading and its safe to say your gfo is obviously still working. i would simply change out the media and test it a few days apart to see what your readings are


no other algae issues besides the cyano and bryopsis??

[Enigma]

Oh, there is one more algae. Green. Looks kind of like bryopsis. I've totally forgotten the name right now. It is another tough one to eradicate. I've got dino's too.

Edit: Derbesia is the other one.

how do you know you have dinos??


it is very hard to get rid of dinos if you have it, most times people mistake it for cyano. to my knowlege dinos can only be id'd under micro scope

cyano also cause similiar bubbles to dinos

[Enigma]

Well, if it is cyano I'll be much happier.

I wonder if the red slime remover that I picked up today would nuke brown cyano, too?

Interesting. My new fox face eats cyano. He's picking it off the Duncan.
