Yep, get the alk up. Keep your water circulating rapidly (if you can, point
the powerheads near the cyno) and do larger water changes. Say, 15-20
gallons...

That's a start...

        I have had a slight cyno problem for the past two weeks.  I have a
55 gallon
        tank, and did a 12 gallon water change two weekends ago, a 3 gallon
during
        last week, and another 3 gallon over the past weekend.

        The temp is 77, specific gravity 1.024.  Nitrates <1ppm.  Alkalinity
        2.5meq/L.  I know, I know, I need to get my alk up alittle... I'm
working on
        it!

        I added two more powerheads to the tank when I did the 12 gal water
change.
        I have not added any additives for about 2 weeks now (not after the
12 gal
        water change).  I've just been dripping kalk continuously (from an
RO/DI
        unit) and adding KH builder during the day.

        Any ideas on how to get rid of the cyno?

        Thanks...

        Tim
