cyano from amino acids?

[jesse!]

Hey I just started adding amino acids to my tank for my coral and about after two weeks of useing every day and I have got a cyano outbreak... could this be why? I have never really had problems cyano with the same water and salt

Yup probably overdoing the aminos a bit.

yes. when they cause cyno either dosed too high or not low nutrient enough to benefit from them.
