| Cyanobacteria?
Iam starting to notice a clear hair like slime growing on my substrate and glass just wondering if this could be Cyanobacteria?. I only started to notice this today when i got home from work. I did a 5 gal water change as every tuesday is water change day for me, I also removed what i could of the slime and noticed lots of sand was sticking to the slime. I have also been getting lots of alga growing on the glass and diatoms on the substrate. I tested my water before the water change my readings were
ammonia 0
nitrite 0
nitrate 20
ph 8.2
The tank is now three months old, it cycled for a little over a month were i noticed a very high spike of ammonia followed by nitrite, and then back down to 0. I run a corallife skimmer (125) i have one seio 620 powerhead, a 250w coral vue mh light (10000k)
and 50lbs of lr.
O BTW the tank is 33 gal and i use ro water that i buy from the store for water changes
