probably did a bad thing - the slime was all over the sandbed so I scooped what i could with a net (just the top layer) off of where it was the worst. now thinking, hope i didn't stir up bad stuff or remove too much good. going to do the lighting thing for the next three days, feed 1x a day instead of 2, get another powerhead.
i have a glass top under my lighting. thinking this might not be the best. anyone use that lighting eggcrate? don't want to do an open top.

Yellowtail,
I had cyano as well. Tried more flow, lighting, phosphate removers, etc. The thing that finally worked for me was removing my glass tops. I suspect they were trapping excess carbon dioxide and preventing oygen exchange. The cyano has slowly started to receed. Use eggcrate if you are concerned about your fish jumping out.
