cynobacteria scavenger

[dustbust_1]

right now I have a cyno breakout. I am employing the 3 days of dark method. Does anybody know of a scavenger to help clean up this mess.

I'm pretty sure certain sea hares mow it away. Though imo you'll be better off just doing what you're already doing. I would do a large (approx 25%) WC before and after as well . goodluck!

dustburst, im in the middle of the darkness thing. This is the second time ive had to do it cause the first time i was told to do it for 5 days but at day 3 i thought it was ok. It came back after 1-2 weeks. If i could do anything again it would be to do it for 5 days. Here is a link to my thread with pics and all my actions. I am taking a pic each day and posting it until its lights on on monday

Turning the lights out will never completely clear your problem, nor will finding something that eats it. A lot of grazers can actually die from eating cyanobacteria and dinoflagelettes. There is something else causing the problem and until you identify that problem you will never get rid of it.
