I have a question or 2 about cyanobacteria. I have 4 tanks, 5 if you include the QT. I treat them all pretty much the same. Only one of them has ever had a problem with cyanobacteria. There are differences. They are all pretty heavily planted tanks (except the QT), but the plants are all pretty much low light plants. Two of the tanks have led plant lights. The one with cyano has just a regular led light. The cyano tank also has eco complete for a substrate. Two of the others have gravel, and one has fluorite. The problem with the cyano is not huge; it does not seem to be thriving, but it won't die either. I have tried blackouts, cutting back on feeding, adding oxygen etc. The tank is not overstocked. I keep saying to myself that it is not really a big problem since it doesn't spread, but it just annoys me. I have read good and bad about using erythromycin to eradicate the pesty problem, but I am afraid of destroying my biofilter. Would like your opinions. Is it possible that the eco complete could be causing this with the built in nutrients?
