I recently purchased a bunch of coral frags and have been attempting to acclimate them in my nano (13.5G) tank for the past 3 months while my 100G system is getting settled in. The nano tank is pretty mature (I’ve had it 4 years but relocated it 1 year ago), whereas the 100G is now only about 9 months old and I had planned to give it time to develop before putting too much new stuff into it.
Anyhow, my nano tank is going through a really bad cyano phase (not for the first time) that I just can’t get under control, and the corals are not doing well.
I’d like to move the frags to my larger tank, where a small number of corals are actually doing really well, but I don’t want to transport the cyano with them.
Is there any treatment I can do to the frags to clear them of the cyano, before putting them into my larger tank?
I normally dip all of my coral in Iodine before adding them to a tank, but I have no idea if that will help with cyano. That red stuff is such a PITA!
Thanks in advance for your help.
