    I would def get your water tested for TDS and cut back on the feedings, over time it should settle down.

    It wouldnt hurt to try dosing Dr Tim's Waste Away bacteria in that biocube. It will take care of that cyano very fast and starve the algae to death. Also, double check you don't have any dead snails in a back chamber rotting and causing your problem.

    Sad to say my tank will be shutting down on 1/6/14.. With my upcoming honeymoon and future life events I can't have a tank sitting around. I'm donating my entire livestock to some local reefers and plan to clean and store all hardware for a future build. (May or may not include my BioCube.) For the past 9 months my tank has been on auto pilot, zero water changes and no dosing of any kind. Also this is why I'm getting out of the hobby for now. Lastly I would like to thank this entire community for all the wonderful advice and great memories with contests and so on..

    Here are some pictures of my system, there are some colors and PE. Please keep in mind, this has been untouched for 9 months. Please be nice.


    P.S. If anyone has a BioCube and they have any questions you're always welcome to P.M. me.

    Man, I guess it's a bittersweet situation. Congrats again on getting married. Well I know whoever gets your livestock will be very lucky :)
