Cyano quick fix?

[Anonymous]

The beckett injector was clogged on one of my systems for about a week before I noticed it. The result is a nice layer of cyano, in my two low flow tanks. I've got the skimmer fixed (and skimming really wet), and doing the water changes, but wasn't sure if there was anything I could add to kill the existing cyano? It's a coral only system.

also, running phosguard on a canister, changing it our every 2-3 days til phosphate is nil.

Just remembered a jumbo tub of phosguard sitting in the back.

there is a product called "red-slime remover" it's a powder, and likely and anti-biotic. I've used it in the past and it sure knocked the crap out of the slime, but who knows what else it does :wink:

I think "Ultra-Life" makes it.

Just siphon as much of it out as you can see. I strongly urge against an antibiotic.

try suffocating it with a new layer of sand

Stop over feeding

I don't feed at all actually. Best guess is the skimmer clogged during the recent heat wave, which gave the slime a foothold. Siphoning and phosguard seems to be working.
