Please Help!!
My tank just finished cycling, its a 29g. Iv got a real bad outbreak of Cyano algae, my flow is pretty good, i got 2 koralia 1s. Are there any inverts that can help with the cyano algae?
Its orange in color, its on the sandbed mostly and very little on the rocks. |

What are the parameters and what water do you use (RO/DI)?

i belive you are just getting a normal cycle algea bloom it will go away on its own if you want you can turn off your lights for a week and it will go away.

+1, just be patient, continue with water changes and it will go away making your water even more stable

If it is orange it is most likely a diatom bloom and you should just wait it out for now and keep up with water changes. Give your tank a bit more time and it should work itself out..just an fyi though perfect parameters means diff things to diff people cause not everyone tests for the same things..
