I treated my tank with Red Slime Control, turned off the carbon reactor, cleaned the skimmer completely, turned off the refugium lighting, and will restart the skimmer in the next 24 hours. The water is a tad murky since it hasn't been skimmed in two days, but the cyano is yet again a thing of history.

I modified the second impellar to my Euro-Reef 12-2 to use mesh material, and am really looking forward to seeing how the skimmer does.

I treated my tank with a new product called Red Slime Control by Blue Life USA.



It can treat up to 400g, so I overdosed my system to eradicate what seems to be a resistant strain of cyano bacteria in my tank. I turned off the skimmer for three days, and stop running carbon during the treatment period. The ORP was completely unaffected, compared to using Chemi-Clean. The cyano in fact did die off. I restarted actively running carbon and the skimmer pulled out 1.5g of skimmate.
