I am thinking of using the above to remove cyano from my tank, but need some advise from bro that use this before..

1. How much should I add to a 2 X 1 x 1.5 ft tank?

2. After adding how long should I off my skimmer?

3. Should I off my canister too? If not should I remove the phosban and carbon media from my canister?

4. Do I need to change the water from the tank after this process? How many percent?

5. Is there any precaution I should take on my livestock during and after the dosing?

Thanks :bow:

1. Your tank size should add 1 full spoon for 48 hrs. If trace of cyano@#$@#@ is there do another spoon for another 48 hrs to kill them all.

2. Skimmer must be off for those period, otherwise it will spill the skimmer.

3. Canister no need to off but must remove carbon media.

4. Water change 30% and add carbon media for 1-2 weeks. On the skimmer.

Source of cyanobacteria is that they are always in the ocean. But excess nutrients accelerate their growth. Control your feeding/maintenence is a good start.

Good Luck
