Beating cyano (red slime)

[dement]

Hi guys,
do or did already someone use phytoplankton synechococcus to beat cyano (red slime) in his aquarium?
I do find out some short articles (mainly advertisements) on that topic which promote this phytoplankton as a perfect product for beating cyano in just 3 weeks but no one described the principle how this shlould work.
Thanks for info.

Not heard of it. My method, outside of paying careful attention to water parameters, is a 3 day period with tank lights turned off and no stray sunbeam reaching the tank from a window. 4th day, lights up, (on half power if a coral reef) , then on 5th day run as normal, and skim efficiently, plus a 30% water change. Repeat monthly until it no longer poses a problem. ---usually banishes cyano by the end of the third treatment, often by the end of the first.
