antired...

[markietan]

i'm having a cyano boom in my sump tank... seems like increasing the flow rate doesn't work... been scrubbing it off the tank walls and removing it from the sand for the past weeks but it keeps coming back. so guess i have to use anti-red chemical ?

LS in my tank includes 2 percular clowns, 1 maroon clown, 1 zebra damsel, 1 twin spot goby, 1 anemone crab( its turning red coz the cyano is growing on it i think), 2 small hammer corals and some mushrooms.

which anti-red product to use and how much? will it affect my ls ? help.....

Those anti-cyano products are just antibiotics

I would advise you to siphon out all your water, clean off as much cyano as you can and then add newly mixed DI or RO/DI water

wait a min. are cyano the red red color thingy ? i change water everyweek le. no money for di unit, so my top-ups are direct from the tap

do about 2 litres topup every day

ya its quite abit. lots of evaporation from my main tank and sump tank coz my ceiling fan is quite power and its switched on max 24/7... heh

either that the fishes drink alot of water....

any other effective way of removing this red algae thingy ?

i have 4 different types of macro algae growing in the sump tank, isn't it enough for nutrient export?

aquamedic red slim remover quite effective... but as bro BH say.. you only change the soup but you didnt change the medicine... best is to change water frequently

Bro you have to siphon out the cyno manually every time when do water change. It don't dissapear by itself even with medicine and best to add rowaphos at the same time. This is what i do when i had a cyno breakout.
