Hey all-
I'm STILL having a cyano/brown slime problem.... changing water, put in the phosphate remover... barely feeding at all...'
What could be the problem??

tap water maybe? running lights too long in the day? like maybe try to back down lighting to 8-10 hours a day if you are a fish only tank...

I alaway suggest increasing you turn over rate or flow rate period when having algea problems. But you do what to find out why which could be from Phosphates / Nitrates to lights to tap water or Sun light. What are you test results. And do you or have you used tap water?

At work. I can give test results later... use distilled water, not from the tap...
