I've been doing some major continuous battle with a cyno problem. I have thru numerous large water changes dropped my nitrates down to about 2ppm.
Very happy about that. I have been sucking out the cyno with the water changes and painfully sucking it off the rocks with a turkey baster. Recently I added for the first time activated charcoal - chempure and chem pure elite.
The problem has always been that within 2 - 3 days the cyno would be right back where it was - just as strong. For the first time, it is coming back slightly slower and after about 3 days the cyno is accompanied with a brown colored algae under the cyno. It also seems to suck up a little easier with the turkey baster. Any thoughts on whether this may be a good sign?
