Red cyanobacteria again... This time it seems a bit angry.

I'm dimming the lighting and dropping the temperature slightly because i've been told these can help limit growth.

Nitrates are 20ppm.

I'm gonna do a more thorough clean tommorow when I do a water change.

Now that I am full salt (0.021), I'm also thinking of maybe getting a lil nano skimmer to run in situations like these. (btw a nano skimmer is just a small skimmer, right?

Is this just a waste of money?

If not, what is a good budget nano skimmer?

Get a used Backpac. You can get one for $50 or less.
Read my thread on vitamin C dosing, after you add one.
