Yeah, if its not turning loose when you turkey baste it then it may be something else. But it being on your sand is interesting.
How long have you been running your lights? I only run mine 9 hours a day as it is. On weekends they run longer but I would say try cutting back 1/3 of what you usually run and if that works then keep doing that. If not increase until 1/2. I think what helped me most was cutting feedings back to every other day as well. I really had a hard time with overfeeding even when I was trying not to. Took me a while with the frozen that I feed to get the correct amount down.
Good Luck and keep us posted. Gotta go put some sand between my toes tomorrow. SOMEBODY HAS TO DO IT!

I am currently only running my lights for 8 hours. I only have the one fish, so I feed her one pellet at a time. When she doesn't go after one, I quit feeding her.

I am looking into buying a single lamp fixture just for an actinic bulb. I just can't find one that is slim enough to fit.

actually yes...still working on it. I got lots of pictures. I am having a couple spots of cyano pop up here and there. I just turkey baste it as i see it. Still not too sure what the lime green is. It wont come off with the turkey baster, it does come off if i scrape it. There are a few spots of yellow/green that turkey bastes off. I am guessing a variety of cyano. Doing water changes, only 10%. I think I need to up it to at least 20% weekly.
Lime green mystery
Yellow/greenish cyano?
green crap on sand turned brown. I think I need a better sandsifting critter...
my new zoas
I got a favia pretty cheap. You can see a few spots of cyano.

I got a sand sifting star for my tank pretty early on. Of course now I have about 2 times the tank you have and that may have made the difference in me being able to keep him alive. Your really only suppose to put them in a mature tank. He does a lot for my tank though. Dont know if you could get by with one or not

Wow, they changed it again. It took me 5 minutes to figure out how to just reply without quoting you gill. LOL. I don't know if I can have one or not, the star. I will ask around. I would like to get one though, they are pretty cool. Can you see my pictures that I posted above? They won't load on my computer at work.

thanks Jimmy. The clown is great. I will hopefully be getting one soon. I am still anxious about the weather, it gets really cold here about every other day. So, I may wait a while. I got a LMB and he is sooo cute! Hopefully I can get a picture of him. I am still battling the cyano, I think it has gotten worse I need to get better on those water changes. heehee. I will win though!
