As far as i know, nothing feeds on cyano.

I have heard that the orange Halloween crabs eat cyano, but I don't know if it's true. I don't think they're reef safe though.

the one i have does, but only a little of it....not worth it to get them for that if that's what you're asking....find the source for the cyno

I tried the turbos. No luck with the cyno. Left the lights off for a couple of days. GONE

Nothing eats cyano as far as I know.

what is your water flow, water test results , etc tank details and i'm sure we all can help you figure this out?
where is the cyno at?

I have a 90 gallon reef tank w/ 90-100lbs of LR and approx a 2" SB. I have 2 - MJ-1200 along with a RIO 2100 return pump. I also have a small RIO thats primarily for behind the rock flow. The cyano is on the LR & SB.

I have not tried any type of chemical(chemi-clean) to try to clear up the cyano. I have been running carbon and phosphate remover. I want to eliminate the problem not just mask it. I do have to say that it has me about to the end of my rope. I am also leaning towards a bigger skimmer along with a refugium. I just need to alocate some funds first. If anyone has other ideas...please let me know. Thanks,John :help:
