what starts cyano?

I have always sucked it out with a hose. Using a tooth brush on the rock while I do it. Also if it is a big outbreak the lights get cut down to 25% to 50% of normal use. Also change the direction of the power heads and sea swirls every month just to mix it up

I have not seen it in a long time now I hope I have it beat.

How long did the chem clean treatment last? Did you loose any fish from it?

I have some of that red slime. Ugly stuff. It needs fuel so its probably has to do with your dosing.

It says 20% water change after treatment. (60 gallons for me)
Wonder what happens if you do less.

I might do the chemiclean just to get it under control.

Wow this is an old thread guys. The chemiclean worked just as they descibe. I didn't lose anything but the cyano.

Old or not....the question is still good to be brought up from time to time since there are new members all the time. I am sure there are plenty of new members learning lots from this forum....

Sarang....stop picking on the newbies

LOL.... I was just saying this is an old thread. Not picking on anyone.
