Ok so finals week is over, and i have spent the past 3 weeks studying like a crazed person. Anyway about a month or so ago i developed a red slime issue (cyano i think right?) I've done some research and nothing i have found has done the trick or anything. My next options are removing all my sand, building a phosphate thing, or a black out. I'm going to build the phosphate, but i figure i should get rid of this crap at the same time. I've tried many circulation techniques, and the stuff is going everywhere, even where pumps are blowing full blast on. Its extremely annoying as it has started growing on my rocks and glass and what not. I wanted to take care of this sooner, but finals, and it has gotten out of hand.
I have 1100 gph of circulation + my return pump - head. should be enough for a 29g tank.
protein skimmer that runs 12 hrs a day (i ran out of outlets so i had to connect it to my timer)
no3- 0
no2- 0
nh3- 0
ph 8.1
po4- surprisingly small.
maybe my test kit isn't working but my phosphates are low.
Any way, I'm wondering if anyone has a good plan of action, i really need to get this taken care of. its disgusting.
Thanks
