Low intensity cyano?

[Cal1089]

Ok so I switched my lighting around and started low, with this came cyano and I didn't have it before..... it would disappear at night and as the day went on got worse. I know people always say lighting is to intense and low
Flow but my case seems the opposite. Low intensity lighting brings on the cyano cause when I bump them up about 25% it all disappeared throughout the day. Now the next day it's all gone.

So my conclusion is the low light intensity was perfect breeding grounds for the bacteria. Anyone ever experience this before?

May be the spectrum you are creating at lower intensity not the intensity itself. What kind of lighting do you have?

Beat me to it, i was going to say the same thing. Maybe the "intensity" knob isnt 100% correct.
