I submitted this as a reply to another thread but haven't had a response so hoping someone else can answer:
I've done lots of reading today, lots of conflicting information regarding this, I'm hoping someone could help clear things up.
I've decided to totally disregard my testing kits as it's abundantly clear that they are about as accurate as my Parkinsons-ridden Grandmother with a sniper rifle.
It looks as though raising KNO3 is the best way to get rid of it, but what about KH2PO4 - Phosphate, right? This is where the conflict begins because I've read that I need to lower them, others say I need to raise them?!
I had a bag of Purigen that is supposed to help get rid of the Cyanobacteria, but I used bleach that had perfume to 'recharge' it. Even after soaking it for a week, changing the water every day, it still smelled of the stuff so I threw it in the bin
