I completely mixed up Cyanobacteria and coraline algae in my notes! 🤦‍♂️ when I talk about cyano in the video I am really talking about coraline!!

[@leeandmandybattersby5958]

I always love seeing the corals in this tank there beautiful

[@505Aquatics]

You made my day!

[@barbjudson1256]

Coraline algae is the purple stuff growing on the rocks and glass

[@505Aquatics]

Wow I completely mixed those up in my notes! Hopefully this comment clears any confusion

[@englishfishkeeper2007]

How often doyou do water changes?

[@505Aquatics]

About 15% weekly! (5 gallons from 30) I use Fritz aquatics salt, when it was still new I would do 30% water changes on bad days no more than twice a week

😂 “ cyano is not a algae - it’s the name it’s a bacteria. You get cyano from low / stagnant flow areas. You get green hair algae from elevated nitrates and phosphate/ and light 💡. Neither of these 2 things show your tank is maturing or even remotely close to, it’s actually the opposite this show ur tank is unstable and you have low flow producing dead spots which is causing the cyano to begin with

[@digsouth1331]

Or your talking about coraline and calling it cyano 😂 Jesus Christ

[@505Aquatics]

Mixed up coraline and cyano in my notes 🤦‍♂️
