Re: [APD] Cyanobacteria (BGA)

["Rob Fowler" <aquaria at sarcanthinae_com>]

There is quite a lot of discussion here, relavent to aquariums:
http://www.netpets.org/fish/reference/reefref/cyanobacteria.html

There is much more general coverage here:
http://www.botany.hawaii.edu/faculty/webb/BOT201/BOT201/Algae/Cyanophyta%20lecture%20notes.htm

I have a zillion other links if these do not head you in the right
direction. I find this stuff fascinating.

In terms of control, being photosynthetic, light is a biggest factor, after
that cardbon dioxide, injected or a result of DOC.
These organisms can fix N in atmospheric form so there is not much you can
do about that.
