cyano

[iiluisii]

OK my tank went trough red cyano due to high nutrients then i installed an L2 scubber and use microlift special blend and it went away but then i started getting green slime cyano and it not going away. my nitrates are 0 and my phosphates are .10. do you guys think my tank is suffering from not enough bacteria to out compete the green cyano bacteria?

Multiple questions for ya;
Is your scrubber screen looking ok?
do you feed nori?
do you add iron in any other way?
is your phos level reducing, staying put, or going up?
have you got photos?
Have you tried mechanical removal (turkey baster for example)?

my screen is growing nice green algae, the phosphate levels are redusing, i try removing it but it comes back up. i feed norry but not sheets, its mixed on my DIY food that i make which consist, Misys cubes,brime cubes, cyclop cubes, oyester cubes, marine fest cubes, prone roe, SA aquatics pellets, coral frenzy food, selcon, sprulina not sure if i spell this correct, nori, algae pellets, formula one pellets all mix in together on a blender then frozen and all i feed is a size of a cube per day

Have you considered a yellow eye kole tang, mine scrapes everything. It may clear things up while the scrubber does its thing with the phos.
