Mostly for academic reasons, as I don't think I'm going to have to dose anything. However, after doing some reading I'm left with a question.
I have what seems to be a little cyano happening. Right now I'm dealing with it by stepping up water changes, cutting back feeding and keeping lights out. Also the side of my tank that gets natural light through a nearby window is covered.
IF it came to the point where one was forced to treat chemically (and yes, I know cyano is a bacteria but the question is not specific to cyano), would this also wipe out macroalgae like chaeto in a sump or fuge? If so, what would be the course of action, take the sump out of circulation while dosing? Move the chaeto to another tank if possible? Write it off and get more when it's over?
Thanks!
