i'm very pleased to report that maracyn will kill BGA(cyanobacteria) its been 4 days since i started the treatment. last dose today. just in case but the stuff has died on the sand , wood and rocks... still left with green water but that i can clear up with changes and if neccesary i got a uv, and a micron filter. hasnt hurt the fish or plants so i'm right stoked.. now its time to start some ferts and begin to look into co2
