adding rock from a cyano infested tank
I have a tank running at home that was a reef tank and when i went to college i turned it into mostly a fowlr, with just two zoos and one single musrhoom polyp. I do water changes on the tank once a month when i come home. This week I came home with a huge nitrate spike and a cyano problem. I did a water change and got rid of most the cyano. A lot came back the next day. Anyway...Im starting a nano at college but wanted to take the remaining coral out of the old tank. Is it too risky to move corals that could contian cyano to the new tank?

I wouldn't think this would be a problem. It mostly has to do with the overall excess nutients of the tank. I don't think bringing a piece or two from a tank with a cyano problem to a new tank would start a problem there unless it is packed with detritus and make the water quality in the new tank go sour and start a cyano problem there. I would like to see others opinions on this as well because i could be wrong.

Scrub the rock and shake out the detrius in a bucket of seawater. Then just keep your nutrients in check in the nano.
