Cyano issue help
I have cyano or red slime and seems to have damaged one of my corals.
I checked phosphates with 2 different Hanna Hanna 774 measured at 0.05 Hanna 736 measured at 1ppb I’m guessing 0.003 Maybe my tank too low in nutrients? |

I just checked for nitrate and it shows nothing. Is that possible? The water didn’t turn color I’m using Red Sea pro

Go up the thread into the 'stickies' atop all, and read up on cyano. Generally cyano won't damage anything it sits on but it can harm it by denying it light.

Nitrate won't be the issue, though it's nice to have it low.
