Cyanobacteria Growing by the week....

Hey Dr. Tim I used your "one and only" to fishless cycle my tank back in October and was very happy with the results.

I currently have a 29 gal Biocube sps/lps/zoas 4 fish (5?)

I just ordered your "re-fresh" and "Waste Away" in hopes of getting rid of my cyano problem. I have never had any problem algae in my tank what so ever. I run a huge Aquamaxx HOB-1 skimmer(75 gal rated) as well as GFO and GAC in a reactor. I also have chaeto.

I had a phosphate problem about a month ago until I started running gfo which has helped a lot. However since my phosphates have dropped (below .02) I am getting cyano. It started off as just a little but now it seems every week it gets more and more. I have been using MB7 which helped a little but now it is really growing fast. I use a turkey baster to blow it off the rocks and suck it off the sand and I syphon it out when I do water changes.

I believe the cyano started from either a yasha goby death (have not seen it in months?) or the use of a cpl KZ SPS coral food products. I have since ceased using the KZ products.

Hopefully the "refresh" and "waste-away" will get rid of the cyano before it really gets out of control.

I will hopefully be able to post pics of my progress. ;D

 

Do I need to keep my DKH below 8 to use these products? I noticed efrain saying that was his plan in his cyano thread?
