    Hi. good afternoon for everyone.

    SM, i donīt know why but the cyano in my DT is becoming more strong each day.
    i am trying hard to siphon it every single week trying to help my scrubber to figth it, and nothing good happens.
    i heard that if i turn my Dt light off for 3 day all the cyano will die.
    question:
    doing that will hurt my scrubber?
    and the periphyton will die too, ( i know that i have few periphyton)?

    Thanks again.

    Cyano will not hurt anything. You can leave it.

    That is about all you are going to get until you start feeding animals who make ammonia.

    As soon as you start feeding. Your screen is very big though, so it will stay very thin unless you feed a lot.

    Thanks for reply.
    Same time ago i read some thing here that said, if a person has a very big screen he can let it grown more time without cleaning is that true?
    Or should i cut my screen and make it smaller.

    No you cannot really let a waterfall screen grow more weeks. Even if not thick growth, the pods will start eating it. And if it is thick growth, the roots will get shade and die.

    Even an upflow needs to be harvested. They will not shade the roots and die, and will not overflow, but the pods will still start eating everything.
