Great advise Rob!
I had some
cyano a when I got back from deployment. (Tank in my 13 yo sons hands for 6 months ) Needless to say I got rid of it using ALOT of cleanup, Got my Nirtates and
Phosphates back to 0
ppm and Red Slime Remover. Been
cyano free for 2 months now. With no ill effects on any tank inhabitants
The trick with the Red Slime remover is to not skim or change the water for at least 2-4 days, then run carbon for a day and then after that turn your
skimmer back on cause it will drive it nuts if you dose it with a skimmmer on! I also changed my
PC bulbs after 9 months of use ( this may have helped it out a bit). Best thing though is good husbandry and you won't have much to worry about dealing with it at all... Good luck.
