I have a serious problem with cyano. Its a 29gal with about 20lbs of LR. I have a live sand bed with assorted corrals. I also have a clown fish, a falco hawkfish, severl hermits and snails. I have a Dual Satellite light from Current. I have an Aqua C Remora skimmer. And a crappy hob filter from wal-mart. From the time I have started the tank about a year now I have had a algae or cyano problem. Everytime I check my water everything is perfect. Not to mention my water is crystal clear. I had a phosphate reactor for awhile to battle diatom algae and now its gone and cyano has replaced it. Its everywhere. It even grows in my phosphate reactor. I have removed the reactor and it smelled horrible. I figured that it was a nitrate trap. I figure nitrates are not showing up in the test because the cyano is consumming it. Could it possibly be poor filtration? What kind of filter should I get if thats the problem? I would like a canister filter of some type. Any help would be appreciated.
