No screwing around, 100% recommend chemi-clean; all of the site sponsors carry it, do yourself a favour ( OP ) and save yourself the time; try it out. |

![]() no because there is no need to do water changes if a person has other methods of nutrient export.

![]() My tank is 4 months old, had no other algae problems except had a bad case of cyano. Its a 10g nano and cyano was covering everything. Here's how I got rid of it; weekly 2.5g water changes and sucked up as much of it as I could. The water changes worked and its all gone.

I maintain about 50 tanks in Calgary and tend to only get cyano in tanks with too low flow, tanks that have had persistent low kh, and tanks that dont get enough water changes. Water changes and increased flow have solved the problem Every time. And yes, it's at about the 8-14 month mark when you tend to see this problem Build up. Do you clean your gravel? |

I only have 1-1.5 inches of sand anyway. Since the cyano started I have done water changes with no improvement. I've got alternate methods of nutrient reduction, which is why I don't do frequent water changes. I dose alk, calc, mag, strontium and iodine. |
