Yes it is lol

I was reading on chris88 feature about cyano being a byproduct of carbon dosing. So I wonder if adding different benificial bacterial strain would help this

Yeah, I've also dealt with the "where's it getting its food from??!?!?!?!" cyano. Don't bother fighting it with "honest" methods. Just pick up an antibiotic and call it a day.

Yeah I have cemiclean on hand.

I was just lookin for a reason why but I guess sometimes it is what it is

I had a bit of a cyano problem and a lot of a caulerpa problem.
My tests indicated zero on everything, but I doubted them and bought new kits just to find zero across the board.
Ended up swapping my old t5's out for LED and the problems cleared up quickly.

Since you're already running a Radion my circumstances don't really apply to you and I'm just consuming bandwidth. But maybe too much sunlight or red from the Radion?

Yeah I thought about the light as it didn't happen till I got to 80%. Ill wipe it off the board and see what happens

That would be interesting to see your results. So far I only have my red and green channel up to 30% as it is. I wonder if I'll see a recurring problem when I bump my intensities up more.

Since I started using MB7 more than a year ago, have never had a problem again with cyano. And my P04 and N03 is nowhere near zero. And I use Radions.
