I know this has been discussed before, but i was hoping to get some personal insight from those who have dealt with this before. My tank has been up for about three months and a couple of weeks ago I began dealing with a cyano issue. It started on a particular rock that was under lower light, and has since spread to my entire tank. I have fixed the light issue but it continues to spread.
About my tank:
72 gallon bowfront drilled
15 gallon fuge
10 gallon sump with 125 coralife skimmer
Black & White clown,
Bicholor pseuodochromis
Pencil Urchin
Misc. paly's and zoas
I have increased my waterchanges, added the cheato, added more flow and bumped up the cuc but it still does not seem to be decreasing.
Parameters checked yesterday:
Nitrates -0
Ph-8.2
Alk-3.0 mg/l
Calc-450 ppm
Phosphates-0
My light cycle is 10k's for 10 hrs and Actinics for 12. And my fuge light is on the other 12.
Should I decrease my light cycle? Go to 24 hour on in the fuge? Am I doing something wrong here or is this normal? Could I be overfeeding? I feed daily typically but not large amounts.
Thanks to all for the help in advance.
