cyanobacteria

I've heard, and read that the red lip blenny eats it...but, my LFS doesn't carry them, and I've never bought fish online, so I'm hesitant on getting one...

 

Unless you take care of what is causing it, you can remove all you want and it will always come back

 

Knowing exactly what's causing it is the problem...I've read, and been told, everything from new tank syndrome, to lighting, over feeding, lack of movement...it's just frustrating...I know it will keep coming back, I just don't like admitting it, lol...

 

I had a small cyno problem 2 months ago just added more flow, so now I'm at about 38X Hr turnover, before I added more PH I was only around 10-12X hr turnover and hav'nt seen it since.

 

Did ya hear the news?? I updated my blog yesterday, but forgot to post in this thread...long story short, after almost 2 months, I have VICTORY!! Intense cleaning, a week without lights, 1 week with only 5 hours a day, a large hermit crab, a lawnmower blenny, an additional power head, 2 phosphate remover cycles, and it's all gone! Woo hoo! So glad its finally over...now I can enjoy my tank, and continue adding on!
