Dirty sandbed

Tank is medium bio load clean up crew could use a touch up. I was wondering about cyno but wasn't sure cause I've never had it. If it is cyno how do I deal with it. I'm running chemi pure elite changed it out 2 weeks ago.

Cyano is best dealt with by Chemiclean Red Slime remover IMO. But cyano has been in many of my tanks without me needing to use this. I used it once when I just could not control a outbreak. Followed the directions, worked great, reef safe with clams. IMO just wait and see if it becomes more of a problem. Also something like an orange lipped conch is an indispensable member of the sand bed CUC. It will seek and destroy all dark spots 24/7/365

Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from this hobby. "The only thing two reefers can normally agree upon is what a third is doing incorrectly."

Just Kidding

Actually I have had success battling cyano in the past with Coral Snow.
