cyano

It has been quite a while since I have posted anything on here due to time restraints and my schedule. I did have a cyanobacteria problem which I have not had in about 6 months but you know if it isn't one thing it's another and now I have a problem with two different caulerpa infestations. Caulerpa taxifolia and grape caulerpa the grape sprouted up within the last week oddly enough nothing has been introduced to the tank in about 10 months so I assume it was all just laying dormant this whole time. ...
