Really sorry you've had to deal with this but it's been a great teaching moment for us. I thought I had cyano starting on a couple of rocks but after watching this, I've determined it's just green spot. Not surprising, my Salvinia had a die-off recently; I've been picking dying plants off the surface for days, every time I get bored.

-The worst case of cyano I've had to deal with was is a cycling tank which makes me sceptical about high organics beeing the only cause. I was told that that was caused by 0 nitrites. I've also noticed that increasing flow and oxygenation helps in the long term in other cases.

Oh good I just had this problem in one of my small tanks . I think its under control now

I had this a couple years ago. Used Ultralife Blue-green slime stain remover. Worked great and didn't nuke my cycle.

There was an article about keeping Boston Ferns in rooms with higher humidity, they thrive in these environments.. and wick out the atmospheric humidity as well.. just a thought when you had a Boston fern placed in the beginning of the video 👍🏼

Commiserations for your lost fish, just had my 100L crash out and lost an angel and a bunch of tetras to fungal outbreak. Really annoying because I was on top of qater changes and everything, but water quality was shot because unbeknownst to me a tetra had gotten stuck deeeep inside my massive java moss and died at some point so it was a thriving fungal colony when I finally noticed the problem and started doing damage control and took the moss out to clean it of debris

4 30% water changes in 2 months, gravel vacuum, and some CO2 spot dosing fixed it for me in my 75g.

I delt with Cyano for months in a new set up , Finally treated with Maracyn and that did the trick

@helenali6085

Some waterheaters have this bacteria colonized in them. All it takes is a drop of warm water.

When I use to breed shrimp use to get the pink/purple stuff. Found hydrogen peroxide twice a week helped my situation out. Yes, floating plants are great, but can block oxygen and block us seeing dead animals in our tanks.

@Alex Hi Alex, could you confirm this for me? My plants are losing their leafs, some leafs have holes in them and others are turning transparent.

@FreeRSC 2 жыл бұрын

IMO, cyano only appears in tanks with fast growing plants, that's when nitrate is really low and there's lots of debris from dead plants. One way to prevent cyano in the long run is up your nitrate level.
