small algae question?

[da1jewfish]

It's a 2 month old tank that is succuming to some cyano. One of my gorgonians is getting the cyano on it, should I do anything? Could it kill it eventually?
thanks

A handful of water changes with RO/DI might help - make sure to vacuum out as much of the growth as possible. To be honest though most tanks go through a series of blooms before they stabilize.

More flow is an appropriate solution for many, many problems that we see in our tanks.

thanks all, I did plan on adding a powerhead in a few days. The only thing is is that ricordia don't like a lot of flow, so I'm not sure what I'm gonna do.

As far as the gorgonian, could it die from the cyano?

It could, try to keep it clean. Is it photosynthetic?
