So heres some background info on my tank...
Its a 210g (84"x24"x24") with 50g sump. The tank was setup as a mainly sps tank. Well ive been having cyano since the tank was set up but everyone just kept telling me " its just new tank syndrome". Well then at some point i had added some brs shelf rock into my tank (without curing it,honestly i didnt realize it was dead live rock, i thought it was just fake rock) , which made my situation way worse, adding Bryopsis. So i dosed tech M for about 6 months (almost wiped out my whole tank Long story), now i just have the cyano algae. I run 3 GFO reactors, 1 brs single and 1 brs double, so my phosphate levels have been reasonably low, i dont think ive ever had a hanna checker reading over 0.5ppm... usually more in the 0.3ppm - 0.0ppm range. I have been running biopellets on the tank as well. The tank has been up a little longer than a year.
I only use rodi water and wash all food before feeding. For the tanks size i have very small bioload compared to most. I have 1 yellow tang, one yellow bellied regal, a few chromis, 3 cardinals, 2 clowns. I run a reef octopus skimmer thats rated for double my tanks size. For flow i have two mp40s and 2 maxijet 1200's , along with my return pumps. i run two part for calcium alkalinity. And for lighting i use radions.
Ive tried using chemipure in the past with no long term results, usually just causes more problems.
So with all that being said, any suggestions ? If i didnt list something you need to know just reply and ill update the post...
Thanks in advance,
Daniel
