New Cyano treatment

[meowzer]

Has anyone heard of this? It's supposedly new....
Treat unsightly cyano bacteria to restore and maintain the beauty of your aquarium. AquaVision Aquatics Cyano Solution is an easy-to-use powder that will not discolor aquarium water as it treats cyano bacteria (also known as red slime). Left unchecked patches of cyano bacteria can quickly form massive sheets that choke off light and nutrients to live rock, corals and other saltwater aquarium life. Use Cyano Solution in both marine and coral reef aquariums. Dissolve 1 scoop (included) with 1 cup of aquarium water for use with every 10 gallons. 2 grams treats 400 gallons.

I've never heard of it. But - I don't recommend using it. Medications for cyano can wreak havoc on saltwater aquariums - throws everything off balance and always demands a large water change to get rid of the decaying matter.
Cyano is better treated with an increase in internal water flow and a decrease in DOC. You may temporarily get rid of your cyano problem with the "cyano solution" but not fix the underlying cause. If that makes any sense...

I was told long ago that if you constantly treat the tank with chemicals to keep red slime away that eventually it won't work at all anymore.
You have just that one patch that keeps coming back, right?...Can you increase flow to that one area? You can always get an Aquaripure, LOL..that is my solution to SH pollution.

LOL...I'm not buying it.....I just saw it as NEW, so though I would ask about it

Just outta curiosity.....
ANYWAY I did use red slime remover once.....worked great in the 54 and the 29G......notso in the SH tank....

I am really thinking of getting another nano Koralia for it...my problem is placing it....I want it on the back wall BUT with a nano you have the back section and mine is full....so MAYBE I might have to get one with suction cups like the bio cube model sells

IMO there are times when we must resort to using chemicals in our thanks and they should not be just dismissed as something new to be used. Now in this particular product if we remember that cyano is a bacteria and as such is treated with antibiotics in our tank I doubt that this is any different than any of the other products on the market such as chemclean

Cyano will always die off by killing the lights. And stop adding food as well.
then resuming with less lighting will keep it away.
