Chemiclean & Cyano

Cyanobacteria is one of the greatest nuisances to a reef hobbyist, until now. Chemiclean by Boyd Enterprises will eliminate cyanobacteria within 1 - 2 doses. Follow the instructions per volume of your aquarium, remove the carbon & turn off the skimmer. Within a week, problem solved the cyano is gone and you can replace the carbon, turn the skimmer back on and do a small water change. If it returns in the next few weeks, repeat the process and you should not experience any additional outbreaks.

Also, an increase in flow or current and higher alkalinity will reduce the chances of future outbreaks.
