Does the dark kill cyano?

I had heard about that. I guess I just figured if my bulbs were bad I would have algae growing as well. There's not even a speck of any green algae in my tank (which I love!). But I'm new at this, and don't know much! I'll look into that idea.


Thanks!

 

absolutely! not just cyano but all the other algae blooms that come after it. you're substrates fine though, i asked because if you had said "some sand from the backyard and some left over gravel from one of my freshwater tanks" i would have concerns about future algae problems
soon you'll be scraping off coraline and wishing you could go back to the good old days of siphoning out cyano!

 

Haha I can't wait for that! Lol. My coralline is starting to spread!! ;D

 

My cyano is slowly going away. I did not use red slime remover, but simply am letting it run it's course.

 

Okay, thanks for letting me know. I'm doing the same thing, and so far so good. Though I am not getting my hopes up!!

Glad yours is getting better!
