Diatoms or Cyano??
So is this Diatoms or Cyano? I can get rid of it. Used the Dr Tim's refresh and waste-away with 48 hour black out. Looked like it was going away but it has now come back. Starting to get a little upset. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Cyano..
Welcome to a new tank.. Its fairly normal and can/will pass on its own.. Personally I let it happen (and just siphon it when I can and wait it out) because its natures way of helping the maturing process along IMO.. Its just another one of the "uglies" stages.. Diatoms first, then green algae, then cyano.. You can siphon it out with water changes,etc... black outs, chemiclean/red slime remover,etc...

Yeah I also agree. I've siphoned it / used chemiclean with pretty good success in the past
