the same situation happened, on the fourth day I calmed down

By the way, the fish and invertebrates were not harmed by the medication. The cyanobacteria were partially affected. Should we continue the treatment? Or will it go away on its own?
Joe
A similar situation occurred with the foam column, which calmed down only on the 3rd or 4th day. After the second one, I simply opened the outlet pipe fully, and it filled the bowl in about a day.
By the way, the effect on the cyanobacteria is partial. I'm currently considering attempt number two.
P.S. In my opinion, based on feedback on our forum, everyone has more or less the same type of cyanobacteria, and it's new since aquariums have started to become overgrown en masse...

I also tried. I held out for three days without a replacement. I changed the water on the fourth day. The foam was overflowing. Cyan, knock on wood... :-)

Put something under the pen, lift it onto a stand. I struggled with it at first too, then I lifted it and after about an hour it started to calm down and produced dry foam.

Your method worked. And the timing was almost right.
Charles5941
I had foam for 2-3 hours, about 10 liters of water spilled out, then it gradually calmed down.

Don't rush to start the treatment course. The instructions say at least a month. Although in my opinion, this medication is a last resort, and it's better not to abuse it. After all, it's a "selective herbicide." It worked once, but the second time it might affect someone.

I’m not the only one who doesn’t get excited about foam because it never gets me excited.
Ross
Where is this written in the instructions? I couldn't find such text.
Please justify. What is the risk if the dose is not exceeded and aeration is ensured?
Karen1649
Judging by the emoji, you're definitely not excited about the foam.

No tricks, I meant that I really always have a hard-on on vacation. Even a red slim remover is not an obstacle for him.
Heather2018
It's strange, you wrote that you also had foam coming out and you didn't know what to do with it.
Earl
It was flowing for exactly a couple of hours. I tightened it a bit, and nothing was flowing.
Jacqueline5976
I had to raise the foam dispenser by 5-6 cm and for about 20 minutes drain around 10 liters of water from the bowl into the toilet. After that, the foam stopped "overflowing," and after an hour, the foam level in the dispenser had significantly dropped, so I returned the dispenser to its previous working level.
Mike
As I understand it, this remover, as many have said, contains some kind of antibiotic. By its nature, as it should, we should drain the dead organic matter after 2 days. The foam fractionator should break it down. Logically, the product should overload the skimmer. All the aforementioned individuals support this. I dare to suggest that passing the aquarium's effluent through a 5-micron filter for osmosis, which costs 15, will reduce the skimmer's frenzy time by 6 times. The same procedure through carbon will reduce everything by 20 times.

1. Have you tried bypassing it? Does the pump push water through the filter (isn't it carbon)?
2. Regarding the carbon, do you mean activated? Then I seriously doubt it.
Heather2018
I took an osmosis filter with a glass cup. I actually connected it to the OR2500))), it pushes through, and in a day the filter collects a lot of dirt, and that's already after the filter bag. I'm thinking of passing it through carbon, it would be much more effective. But these are all assumptions since I don't have a Red Slim remover. I'll try to buy one and conduct an experiment with carbon when cyanobacteria appears.

Has anyone tried this remedy for cyanobacteria - Preis Aquaristik Algan?
Against red and black cyanobacteria in marine aquariums.

Here would be some comment.

About the Red Sea!
"During a certain period, unicellular algae – cyanobacteria (scientific name Trichodesmium erythraeum) begin to actively reproduce in the waters. They contain a large amount of red pigment (called phycoerythrin), and as a result of their mass proliferation, a 'bloom' occurs in the sea, which is red in color, even to the point of a brownish hue."
from here...

Good day to everyone. Who can describe in more detail how to use this medication? The technology itself is described, but the method of application is not mentioned anywhere. I mean, should the powder be sprinkled or dissolved, added to the sump or the display, and if the aquarium is 200 liters, should the entire dose be added at once or half? If it's not too much trouble, please describe these small details. Thank you.
