Wow. Very impressive, ReefSparky! I agree that the chaeto and the phos reactor are among the primary cures. Don't dis the positive effect of water movement, though.
In the first 18 months that I had my tank, I went through 3 cycles of cyano (blue-green algae). I believe they were all caused by excessive nitrates, and the first and third outbreak had contributing factors of poor water movement and changes in lighting. Siphoning and disposing of the slime makes the tank look better and removes the nitrates, too! _________ -- SAW39 45 gal modified hex. Started and cycled August 2005.
