Red Cyano

rpres · 03-13-2008, 05:22 PM

I am trying to eliminate red cyano by frequent water changes. This helps somewhat but my grape caulerpa is dying. Can I get rid of the cyano completely by water changes? Can I keep the caulerpa healthy if I continue the water changes? Any suggestions? Also, I am moving my glass tank. I'm wondering if I should take thyis opportunity to glue my rock, with epoxy if that is the best material to use. How soon can I return the fish to the tank? I have only fish and live rock.

Water changes will not get rid of cyanobacteria. Do a search on the board using "cyanobacteria" as your search term. This topic has been discussed extensively.

You should be aware that mere possession of Caulerpa racemosa in California is illegal, punishable by a fine of not less than $500 and not more than $10,000 per violation.
