    You know, they say that cyano is one of the earliest lifeforms morphing into more complex organisms over thousands years. So, it was with some horror, as well as curiosity when i got home today to see this:

    I have been battling with the cyano for a couple of weeks now and when i saw this strange object seemingly walking along my sandbed, i almost jumped. Looks like my waterflow pulled it right out of there, however the clumps of cyano stayed together as to stand up and mock me!

    If you haven't already try to pull them out in one piece. Maybe get a can or something to push it into so it doesn't blow all around your tank.

    I've had cyano that thick before... no fun.
