What caused it was the use of Vibrant. Seems to be a side effect of the product. I'm not alone on this issue. I leave my skimmer running without cup and use an air stone in front of my return intake. Plenty oxygenated.
With dosing vibrant in my experience is that there comes a cyano outbreak but continued dosing and it goes away
Sweet! Hows the rest of the sand?It didn't go away for me. Just continued getting worse. Stopped Vibrant, treated with ChemiClean, Cyano gone.
I've just been running carbon after treatments recently. Seems to pull it out in less than 24 hours.
Skimmer stops going nutsHow do you know it was pulled out in 24 Hours?
Sweet! Hows the rest of the sand?
should turn off the skimmer when treating the tank, but according to the instruction, after 24 or 48 hours, you need to do a 25-35% water change.....
From my painful experience, after water change, turn back the skimmer and skim wet........!
DANG!Still plagued with brown stuff.
DANG!
Have you or have ever considered sending a sample to Twillard or some of the other folks here?
Yea, once the temps come up, I'm sure one of our scope loving friends would be happy to help.Actually I haven't. Mainly because of the freezing temps. But it's an intriguing thought [emoji846]
Ditto.........no more vibrant for me. the small amount of hair algae is nothing compared to the cyano that exploded after using vibrant. Just my own experience, in no way am I saying it's bad stuff.What caused it was the use of Vibrant. Seems to be a side effect of the product. I'm not alone on this issue. I leave my skimmer running without cup and use an air stone in front of my return intake. Plenty oxygenated.
