Cyano

[SeasonedReefer]

I seem to have a small break out of cyano while I was away in Germany any one have a suggestion on how to get rid of it. I did a 30 gallon water change to no avail. Params look good. no idea what's going on.

tutn the lights out and scoop out as much as you can. phosphates are most likely the culprit

I agree. Turn your lights off or down. Bulbs might be getting old as well. You can add flow, or turn you skimmer off and add some Marycin (SP?) I know that Klaus, PW, and Broadway all carry it. Works good, just have to turn the skimmer off, take out carbon, and do a water change before turning on the skimmer again.
