    Hey all,

    My red lobo has a cyano issue lingering from when I overdosed phyto a while back. I've gone through two rounds of Red Slime remover, increased flow, etc. but it still has a few brown/red spots clinging on. To add to the problem, GHA seems to have taken root on the spots recently cleaned of cyano. It's slowly coming back from the brink of death, but hasn't fully filled in some time. Anyone have any good ideas for me? I've been brushing it off with my fingers or a small powerhead, but that just seems to irritate it more.

    hand removal is probably your best bet, make sure you dip your hand in fresh water after removing it though as your hands will still have the spores on them after touching the algae
