i will take this questionf for the next show.
but until then here is some quick info.
while you can use the chemicals and such to treat the Cyno imediatley, you haev to make sure you address the root cause, or it will come back for sure.

my recommendation is to test your water and make sure your nitrates are low to none. also make sure you are not using tap water, use only distilled or RO water. and the final thing is that sometimes causesthis is the use of a silicate based sand/substrate.

i would recommend trying to correct this issue the natural way, once you start to resolve the potential nitrate or phosphate issue, the cyno will start to subside.

To remove it now, you can try to siphon it out, this is usually done quite easily.

i will provide some more detail in the next show.

thanks
