How old are your bulbs, and how much are you feeding?

Over feeding, can cause cyno. Cut back on feeding, and mabe add more water flow.

I do 10% every week. RO/DI Water.

I just did mine yesterday, it's a big job, but looks great when it's done. I would say go fof it.

Thanks Chipmaker. can I get that at H.D.?

Thanks for the input NM Reef.

Has anyone used King size permanent marker to colour PVC pipe? I'm wondering if it is reef safe.

I had a bad cyno outbreak. I added 2 small pumps to my system, and it has worked great. Gunk will acumulate inlow flow areas, and cyno will start growing. This worked for me.

It looks like you have no flow areas. Try adding 2 small powerheads, to increase your water flow. How old are your bulbs? They may need changing.

How to catch damsels. I decided to change out my c.c., because I found Old Castle sand at H.D. last week. So while I had my coral and live rock,out of the tank,I was able to finely catch them. Big job but worth it.

I just bought 5 bags from home depot. They were about $4.00 a bag. They are dist. by Old castle. Nice white sand, looks just like the beach.

Thanks for the reply. I tried the vinegar test but I wasn't sure of the results, looked like mabe it fizzed but not real sure.

I went to HD today and they had white play sand, labled, Kolor Scape distributed by Oldcastle. It has a blue lable. Anyone know if it is the right stuff? It looks real good.

I thought for a while that tap water would be just fine. Wrong, I had big time algae blooms. Ihad to take out live rock and scrub it with a toothbrush. phosphate was way up. It was alot more work than it was worth to just do it right. Just my 2cents worth.

Thanks for the replie.

Bump

Tap water will eventually led to algae bloom use only RO/DI water

If it's algae snails will work, if it's cyno, they will not eat it.

Can I rent a Lion fish?
