Great job in asking to use the pictures! A lot better than just seeing them show up somewhere. ]]> Mon, 21 Mar 2016 21:33:01 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=79533&PID=609972&title=black-goo#609972 <![CDATA[Black Goo! : I over feed which is why I have...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=79533&PID=609971&title=black-goo#609971 Author: Hogie

LOL  I agree, it's hard to resist.

Do yourself a favor. Look in the Reefkeeping Tips link below for the very good forum discussion about dealing with and eliminating Cyanobacteria. Also notice all the other tips linked there that will help you avoid a lot of mistakes, save a lot of money and make this hobby lots of fun. 

Aloha,

P.S.

Thanks for the great pics of Cyano. Do you mind if I use those for posting in future discussions/threads?

They have a way of looking at you with those big eyes and swimming right up to the glass to try and get you to feed them. Don't fall for it.

Great thanks for telling me what it is. I have a problem over feeding, I think the fish are hungry all of the time. ]]> Mon, 21 Mar 2016 19:41:11 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=79533&PID=609962&title=black-goo#609962 <![CDATA[Black Goo! : It&#039;s cyano bacteria, there...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=79533&PID=609961&title=black-goo#609961 Author: Krazie4Acans

It's cyano bacteria, there are natural and chemical ways to deal with it. Reduced feeding and lighting with increased flow. Can help. Chemiclean can do it if you prefer that route. It is stressful to your tank but does work.

Hope that helps.
