cyano outbreak
last week I added another 30 lbs of live rock {cured} and I think I may have inadvertantly set off a cyano bacteria out break and I would really appreaciate some advice on how get rid of or at least lessen it , any ideas out there...
Tank params are...100 imp/gal ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 15ppm, ph 8.2, calcium440 ppm sg .024 |

If the live rock is producing a bit of decay, that might be fueling the cyano. I'd just wait a few weeks and see how it goes. In the mean time, you could siphon out any large areas of cyanobacteria, which would help export nutrients.

thanks for the reply but something I forgot to mention was an accidental OD of phytoplankton and rotifers yesterday and I believe I also have been over feeding in general, so I basically created my own problem{live and learn}.I also have the beginnings of red algae and I am wondering what grazers I could employ to fend this off........please help me cause I can't seem to help myself....cheers

If the problem is overfeeding, then cutting back should solve the problem, given some time.
