Cyano or algae. Different problem and usually similar solutions.
I beat down an algae bloom after six months of hell. Then cyano took control of the tank. The dying algae left a vacuum for bacteria to break down the organic matter left by the algae death.
Now I have a damaged protein skimmer that is on the mend. Should be back up in three days. Note: I don't think the skimmer has been efficiently working for a few months.
So all tests come back in great shape.
Nit. 0.0
Phos 0.0
Alk 9.0
Calc 300. (Low)
Dk 7-8 (Low)
I think my organic dissolved solids are going to start causing problems for everything if I don't do something drastic.
I'm starting to wonder if the tank is too close to the huge window in the Living room adding to the issues.
