I've been battling with red cyno for months and months. Started pulling it out manually every other day, weekly water changes 10-20% added carbon/phosphate remover in back chamber none of those things helped with the cyno.
New things I've now tried and haven't had any cyno for a week!!!! Bought a new skimmer, put new lights in as I've read old lighting can contribute to cyno new white and actinic (another plus my new actinic lights I put in have a much more vivid purple color than my old ones did),
I did chemi clean red slime remover, and did a 50% water change 48 hours after. I have now had no cyno for a week. I understand what people say about chemi clean being sort of bandaid not fixing root of the problem. That's why I"m also trying new lights, skimmer, bigger water changes, etc. But I have to admit finally for the first time since I've had my tank I've really been able to admire it this last week:-)
