    If the tank receives ambient light from the room its in it is necessary to cover the tank for a total blackout.Cyano can live with very little light.I find it best to tape some black paper to the outside of the tank or even using a couple towels to cover it.;)

    Same with the sump. That needs to be blacked out as well. Good call, Vinny.
