cyano Bacteria ( red slime algae ) problem

That's actually what I'm using currently and it's making a huge difference! I'd try this first!!

 

ya i like that i just have no room at the top of my tank and no sump to put it in

 

What are using for a filter. You can put it in that. It works better in a reactor but if you cant do that you can add it to a filter.

 

i jjust have a HOB skimmer and a intank fuge

 

+1 to Pgoodsell said. If I was you I would use BRS's PELLET GFO, put it in a media bag and put it into the return chamber of your Remora.

 

ok thanks il try that if the algae killer doesnt work

 

You seem to have missed the point entirely.

The algae killer will ABSOLUTELY kill your cyano. There is no doubt about that.

The problem is that when the cyano dies, it's going to release a boatload of nutrients back into the tank, which is going to adversely affect your corals and fish, then let either cyano or another kind of algae grow back.

You need to do something to remove the nutrients before GHA, cyano, or whatever eats them, and if you have a significant amount, before it can affect your corals.

So, get some red slime remover, and get some BRS GFO at the same time. Start running the GFO. Then, siphon out as much cyano as you can at your next water change. Then, use the red slime remover, and keep running GFO.

 

well i have caulpera in my intank fuge will that be enough its just im a little tight on money right now

 

Caulerpa doesn't grow as fast as cyano or microalgae, despite growing among the fastest macros. You pretty much need to have a tank with no serious algae problems for macroalgae to help you prevent an algae problem.

In other words, macro is a preventative measure, not a cure. It's somewhat like the comparison between a vaccine and an antibiotic.

 

gotcha ok sounds good thanks everyone
