Re: [GSAS-Member] Cyanobacteria

Turn off all of your lights.  Cover the tank for 3-5 days (depending on the 
severity of outbreak) with something that does not allow in ANY light.  Leave 
it alone.  Do not uncover to check on it.  Do not bother to feed the fish, 
they'll be fine for that period of time.  After 3-5 days, uncover and it should 
be fine.  It works great on my 150g when I have a bad outbreak.  I never add 
anything to the water for treating Cyanobacteria.  Hope this helps.
