It’s been a long road battling dinos, Cyano, gha and beyond. The light at the end of the tunnel is finally in sight, thought I’d share some cool shots of my mini slice of ocean. I’ve been waiting to stock my favorite fish and corals. I think I’ll be starting soon :) ps I jack bubbles up for effect in some photos (I think they just look cool in photo) I’m nowhere where I want to be yet but patience!!

Any advice and suggestions would be helpful

What'd you do to combat the gha and cyano?
For the Cyano I used chemi clean red slime remover. Removed carbon gfo, increased oxygen as it depletes a lot by running my protein skimmer balls to the wall(it will go crazy) ran the the treatment for 3 days and did a 30 percent water change. Started seeing results after 24 hours. Been Cyano free 6 weeks. As for the gha I got more conscious with my rodi water, lowered nutrient levels and purchased an orange striped bristletooth tang. He worked miracles !
