    cyano

    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)?

    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.
