This is purely anecdotal but I think a once weekly microbacter 7 dose has done the trick for cyano, or at least enough to not worry about it.

I haven’t cleaned the glass in a while so excuse the pictures but you can see where the cyano spots have turned clear.

It’s pretty easy to differentiate between Dino and cyano. If it’s got that bright red/purple color and spreads horizontally then it’s cyano.

Dino is stringy immediately once it blooms and will push a ton of strands upwards as soon as it starts.

I've heard that more than once on R2R, seems to be pretty good for stability. I may just go that route for the cyano with my WCs.

Alright who here's a gamer?
I am, me me me LOL

I compete locally for super smash bros melee.
I spent half my teenage years playing that game until my eyes bled. Still a great game, classic!!

WAYYY old school Command and Conquer

I skipped through all of the gaming posts. I think the last game I played was Space Invaders in a bar and I sucked at that. Ha!

I may have mentioned this before, but when I was a Pizza Hut store manager in 1973 (I was 19) we got the first Pong table in town. I had to listen to that sound all day long- set on beginners level. To this day that sound will trigger an involuntary blurting out of a curse word - beginning with F. :)

@JoshH how in the world did I miss that you played the original C&C??!!

my first love...and then I got red alert with the expansion packs, there was a code you could put in that unlocked the you vs. mutant ant levels. Was that the greatest game ever? I don’t know. But I’ve never seen the greatest game ever + command and conquer in the same room together...

REINFORCEMENTS HAVE ARRIVED!!!!!

They come in multiple different colors.
My goal is to make my current 28g my frag tank. From everything I’ve seen and read, there’s no way I’m going to grow corals faster than with this metal halide and constant feedings. Gonna need something significantly larger before long lol, I like colonies! But frag racks on the walls would really up my available real estate...and that’s where lots of flow is.

Couldn’t resist. I had it on my phone already, LOL

(December 2 I try to keep my self very busy. Thank you guys for the distraction but sometime you are just reminded of events. You just can't escape them. In the quite times just you and thoughts. Good and bad but mostly the good.
Since I think of you guys as family I willing to share. Substitute 23 for 24. )

They say time heals all wounds. The truth is that it heals but leaves a scar.
Some will fade away and leave a fleeting memory. Others the scar is rubbed and hurts.

For my siblings and I the scar goes back 23 yrs. The day started like any other Saturday. I don't remember most of it for it was an ordinary day. My mom called for the house she cleaned and I asked her to pick up a 2 liter of Mt Dew. Next thing I remember is a flashlight shining in the windows. I grabbed a baseball bat and greeted the owner of the flashlight with a raised ball bat.

The owner was a police officer looking for my grandparents. A very short time later same police man couldn't find them and showed back up at our house. This time directions were given to my aunt and uncles.

Next the whole house was filled with family and they informing us that mom was killed in a car accident.
My brother Shane needed to be picked up at a friends house. I had to ride with grandpa and show him the way. Shane collapsed and got in the car.

When we got back to house I ran into the church campgrounds. Somebody tried to case me but gave up. I came back that's where the memory goes fuzzy.

Wounds heal but leave scars. Certain times the ache is there and runs deep other times it's just a scar. Today it runs deep 23 yrs ago we lost mom. One moment and all your left with is before and after.
