Darryl. I have taken an interest in your system ... Whats the status of your battle with the cyano ?
A few posts back you asked for feedback regarding this problem ...
Personally, I would combat this problem on two fronts. First, and foremost, by the addition of a high quality, multiple strain bacteria source (ZEObak). Secondly, thru the addition of a proteyolitic enzyme (ZEOzym).
Initially, try dosing the Bak at 1 drop per 25G/day for the first 2wks.
If this doesnt produce a positive result, then mix the ZEOzym, at half the recommended dosage to begin ( a little goes a long way, as the RD is 1/5 tsp per 250G), with .5 - 1L display water and let sit for 8-10 hrs. Add 1 drop Bak per 25G and let sit another 20-30 min. Mix and disperse evenly into high flow areas with skimmer/filter bags off for 2-3 hrs. Do this 2-3x wk, gradually ramping up dosage and/or frequency, if needed, to 1/4 tsp per 250G and every other day, respectively.
If you still experience cyano problems, then continue with the above treatment but now include the addition of 1ml Coral Snow per 50G, gradually ramping up to 1ml per 25G, if needed; Dispensed in the same fashion/timeframe as the Bak/ZZ combination.
I feel strongly that, if necessary, a combination of these 3 products will expeditiously help rid your system of the cyanobacteria ...
Your success was undoubtedly built around a solid base of stability, which has been greatly taken into consideration in the above recommendations/treatments/dosages. Take it slow, gradually ramping up dosages/supplements, until the desired results have been achieved !
*Just for clarification, for the few who will ask/comment, in no way am I affiliated with, nor endorsing, the ZEOvit system or its Proprietor. Just a satisfied user pointing out/recommending, for the possible benefit of a unique system, 3 specialized products that, if used properly, in the correct sequence/dosage, can produce excellent results pertaining to the aforementioned cyanobacteria problems, among others.*
