Thank you LFS for cyano. P.S. I hate you.

Im about to do my testing, so I will update shortly

 

Joe,

Cyano is in all of our tanks 24/7. It really doesn't take much of a mistake for it to rear it's ugly head and become visible.

 

Alright, fish...
two pink skunks
tomato
leopard wrasse
six line wrasse
bang cardinal
flame angel
yellow tang
dottyback

ok 9 fish

calcium 420
mag 1300
kh 8
PH 8.1
temp 78.7
SG 35ppt
Phos 0 (according to api, I need to get a hanna)
Nitrates 0
I have an iodine test but I did not test that.

What do you guys think? This is with no dosing in a few days
As far as corals go, mostly softies but for LPS...brain, torch and hammer tis all

Oh, and yes I soak my frozen foods in a cup of tank water then toss the water.

 

really, I didn't know that it would take such a small thing to surface. I would have thought that a 55g volume vs 15g would absorb any ill effects without negative results. That is, unless the system was on the line and it pushed some nutrient over.

 

My params are pretty legit as you can see above. Maybe mag and kh is a little low but I will be dosing those.

 

The two levels that I felt were usually linked to cyano were the NA and PO4. It's possible that someone may have come in at night and planted the cyano in your tank, do you have any enemies ? I'm at a loss, I just took my glasses off and I feel like a reef caveman now.

 

Anything is possible I suppose. I do feel I could use more flow, an ecotech would be lovely. Nice 75 gallon btw.

 

thx! Hopefully your cyano will dissapear quickly, is there a lot?

 

Eh, not too much, have had worse in the past. It forms in the center of my tank, in the substrate by days end with the photoperiod being at 7 hours. And a little on my rocks. Problem is I have not seen any real growth on over a month. Maybe I should try a lights out session.... I just want growth! ;D

 

I have been seeding Microbacter7 for the last two weeks and it has started to help as well...
