Cyano outbreak

[GaryP]

I forgot the exact statistic, but think about how many millions/billions of bacteria your body hosts and requires.

Your body is just as symbiotic with the bacteria in your gut as our corals are with their zooanthellae, inverts, or fish.

OK, there's your thought for the day.

Thanks for pointing that out, I made a corredtion....LOL....Anyway, Cyano isn't much to worry about. You can kill off the visual stuff easy enough, but fixing the problem in the tank so you don't have to see it very often is a bit more tricky. I have some that keeps growing in my sump and it is getting Blasted with circulation. I just pull out the caulerpa that it is growing on now and then and trash it.

I just had a small cyano outbreak after I moved my tank. I just vacummed it out, did weekly water changes, and added a powerhead to get more circulation in the corner that it was growing. The corner was a deadspot that I overlooked when I set up my tank again. It pretty much went away after that.

And I changed out my lightbulbs too. They needed it anyway.

not trying to steal thread, but what is a good turnover rate?

I have a jbj nano cube and i think i need to increase the flow. Right now I have a minijet 606 on it pumping around 140gph i believe.
