    I am sure it won't help with the Cyano, my main concern is getting my Corals healthier. I know I over did with a magor sudden change, I will test again tomorrow when things in there have settled a little.
    Thanks m2434.

    Will my Duncan looks better, the bigbest one is starting to come out, the 2 in front are out, but they took a beaten and probably wouldn't have lasted much longer, they almost lost their tenticles, healing time.

    Their going to be hard to feed without those tenticles, I hope they grow back in a hurry.

    That didn't help me when I had cyano. It covered the chaeto and killed most of it.

    If you can, start running GFO (slowly) and carbon, make sure you maintain your water parameters.

    been awhile since I been back. The Cyano is history and the tank went through a lot, but all seems to be recovering well even after I thought I was going to lose animals.

    I kept removing as much as I could, blasted it off my rocks with a Turky juice blaster thing, netted out the free floating stuff and did lot's of water changes. Maybe this helped, but I increased my Specific Gravity to 1.025 all this after 3 days of lights out.
