Transfer question (1 Viewer)

[Ross tha Reefer]

Tearing down one of my all in one tanks for the rocks and livestock, putting them in one of my new builds. My question (dumb as it may be) is this, when transferring fish do I need to be concerned with passing the cynobact as well?

Cyano wont get passed by fish

Cyano is almost without a doubt already in the new tank, and you may as well consider it to be in there. It's just that either conditions are not favorable or other organisms are out competing it for the available food sources preventing it from becoming problematic and taking over. As soon as there is a shift in the system bio-diversity or nutrient levels that gives cyano an advantage is when it begins to rapidly colonize in the tank.

Until you hit it with Chemiclean and get on top of underlying issues.
