8 months ago I began my nitrogen cycle in my 55 gallon tank. 6 months ago I added the first fish. The fuzzy dwarf lion died 2 months later while I was on vacation. In the time before I got the fish the tank became infested with green hair algae. By the time he died it was covered with green and purple cyano. I think the cyano came back because I was overfeeding him. Since he died I have gotten a small clown (pictured)
I know I am not overfeeding him, he gets a mysid a day. So I syphoned the cyano of only to discover the dead hair algae. (pictured)
The cyano once again begins to grow back. I read that that cyano is feed by high nitrates (mine are zero) over feeding and decaying organic matter. Would the dead hair algae be feuling this cyano infection?
