I am far from being an expert at this hobby but I am learning from all of you and from my own experiences. I had a terrible problem with cyano to the point I thought about getting out of this hobby. I vaccumed my sand bed and tried to remove as much as I could from the sand bed then I added the red slime remover to my 20% water change. I turned my protein skimmer off for about an hour. The next day I changed all my biofilters, etc.. About 10 days later I had to add a little water maybe like 5% but that was it. I did not want to do another water change as long as everything was fine because I might remove what I put in there to cure my problem. Other factors do play an important role as well. I increased my water flow, cut down on my feedings and the lights. All is well right now, my tank looks wonderful. I hope things work out for you!!
