Black slime in my 3g picco

i THINK i HAVE BLUE GREEN CYANO, i CHECKED OUT A THREAD ON THIS SITE AND THAT IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. i DONT HAVE A CAMERA. AND AM NOT SURE HAW TO DO VIDS.
Ok this stuff is black and looks just like red slime cyano algea bact. I have some cyano remover that I used in my 20g and it seemed to work because I havent seen it again. But I wonder if that stuff will work on this black stuff. It is starting to get too close to my frags. I have been wipeing off what I can but the tank is small and I have like 7 different corals in it.

Any help please ! Thanks,
Howie

 

Good afternoon,

Take a quick look at the Reefcleaners.org site. He has has a page and some good pics of Nuisance Algae and some ideas as to controling it.

i would reccommend a nano powerhead if you can fit it in there. a powerhead would probably make a big difference. i am guessing there is no or very little flow in the tank right now.

 

yep the blue green cyano also comes in like a black color. Treat it just like cyano, get rid of the phosphates etc... Not something cleaners love to eat unfortunately so it is hard to remove. Turkey baster siphon works wonders...
