Algae - Rescape

[sukrol]

Ok. So I fought the good fight, I'm going to rescape.

What method should I use to make sure I don't bring any of the algae into the rescape?

Kris- You saw the algae on the Pantanal that I gave you. It's not Cyano, It's not common hair algae...

Thank you for any input.

Gabriel -- to my eye, that looks like cyanobacteria on the Pantanal I got from you...

[sukrol]

So Erythromycin?

[krisw]

As last resort. Otherwise, manual removal, good maintenance/water changes, and ferts in equilibrium.

If it stinks, it is cyano. I battled with it for a year in my 125, and then I used erythromycin. In two days all the cyano was gone and it has not reappeared. Just make sure you do large water changes a couple of days after using the treatment to remove the dead bacteria.
