Cyano

[ronfox]

Does anyone have any pics of cyano, or could someone explain to me what it may look like and what it is? Im guessing it is some form of algae. My reef book does not have anything on this subject. The dictionary explains it as a combination of dark blue and black colors. Thanks.

Starve it out and increase flow in the area. Cyano lives on nitrates and phosphates usually caused by overfeeding. Reduce the food in the tank and it goes away. If you don't have really light demanding corals you can turn the lights out for several days and that will help a lot as well.
