How to get rid of this? (Pics)

[pincrusher73]

Ok I think I am having a bloom lol. Can you guys help me detect what this is and how to get rid of it? I believe its cyno but I'm not sure. I have cut back in my feeding to try to get rid of it but I don't think it has phased it one bit. Any information is greatly appreciated THANKS!

Looks like cyano to me. Safe to say that with ANY algae, the solution is to remove excess nutrients from the water... via agressive skimming, lessened feeding, and increased water changes. Anything else (lights out, chemical) will knock it back but unless you eliminate what it is feeding on it will come back.

Yep that's cyano.

Everybody says that works but I've had it grow inside of two skimmers... plenty of flow there.

How long has the tank been running? From what I've read, cyano can be a normal thing for a new tank.

Flow worked for me, added a couple of extra powerheads and it went away. Could be that the water got better as well tho.

I just did water changes and vacuumed out the slim before every water change.
