how good is youre skimmer had the same problem went with a larger sump and a much larger skimmer and never had a problem again

 

[NYreefNoob]

id check that and has your sand gotten stirred up ? i adjusted flow on my pumps and it stirred the sand up and mine came back as well

James, cyano is a bacteria and has been around for millions of years. I sincerely doubt you will ever be totally rid of it, so you will probably have to settle for controlling it.

Get yourself some Special Blend and get it under control

I was told that Long Island has high silicate in the tap water that can cause cyno. Try getting a Hi silicate membrane for your Ro/di. I did this when I had cyno and kept adding Special Blend and have not seen cyno for 4 weeks. Also I stoped using flake food and use pellets.

kat ive been dosing SB since feb.every week when i do my water changes.i know about the silicates guess i will be looking for another membrane.sand has not been stirred up at all.

Silicates? Diatoms, yes, but Cyano? I'd be more concerned about phosphates. But, I'd agree with KathyC that control is more likely than eradication.

Are you running GFO? It is one of the easier ways to pull down your phos.
