So I've never had cyano until about a month ago. It started out fairly small and I thought it'd go away on it's own. Wow was I wrong. I came home the other day to find my zoas covered over with red slime and my top rock just covered with slime. It was also along my glass, heater, and power head!
I've had the lights off for the last couple of days, did a scrubbing of the rocks and did a 50% water change, hoping this will help.
I think what set this off was I was using a coralife 50/50 power compact light but it burnt out last month and didn't have time (read as lazy) to get a new one. So I put a slightly more wattage 24 watt power compact, let's say white, bulb in and since then the cyano has exploded.
So sometime this week I'm going to buy a new bulb.
Are there any other suggestions out there?
I'd hate to kill my zoa's due to cyano.
