cyano algae

...can't seem to access the search feature.

I have a very low flow tank (on purpose to house seahorses) - I'm getting red ealgea growth - is there a product that is safe to use?

what are your water levels? do you have phosphates? if so buy phosban. do you have a protein skimmer? if not i would look into buying one

[fancyfish]

agree with powerhousepratt. also you can look into chemi-clean

chemi-clean

seahorse tank is plumbed into a 400 g system......euroreef skimmer....water parameters good.....I'm just having a tough time finding the right balance of flow for the horses and keeping unwanted algae away.


Is chemi clean safe on inverts, live rock, etc?

Yeah it is, have seen many people use it in their reefs. I've just recently won a war with cyano, and have found that if you want to do it without chemicals, you'll need to just stay persistent in those water changes, directly sucking up the cyano, wash out any sand you suck up too.

chemiclean the tank.. then check phosphate levels.
