Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

You'll have to come up and show me, be sure to get them all buffed out and I'll know for future reference how to do it :)
Let's wait until you get those nice frags in. I'll help you cull the ones that call attention to the glass. :)
 
I'm an ex-cop that works in an ice cream/ coffee shop. No shame in my age. Just more ibuprofen.
My first wife was Army, 4 yrs. I teased her and called her GI Jane, while I got my a#$ kicked, from her......heehee tough cookie
 
Looking at my tank after work today, it seems my algae outbreak is cyano not dinos.
Going to just get some red slime remover from BRS and give it a go.
Been super busy working lately so I won't be able to do WC until Wednesday morning.
Ordering red slime remover Thursday.
Going to do couple WC between Wednesday and Sunday.
Need to replenish the tank and get it a bit more stable, my nem is pi***d off at me right now.
BUT my Brute can is ugly with some brown crud from running an air pump and two airlines into the Brute when I was cycling rocks.
So I have to use up the last of that water then scrub and clean the Brute really good and make new water before doing a second WC.
Going to start dosing the microbacter 7 weekly with my WCs until things stabilize

I would not use chemicals for Cyanobacteria. It always goes away on its own.

Waste away and refresh by Dr times removes it
 
I'm almost 50
You have a good while before you get there. It's not like it's in a few weeks. 50 is the new 30 anyway. :) I will hit the big 65 in three weeks. It's just a number anyway. If you are like me, you are as childish as you feel. ;)
 
I refuse to let my nem die.
I need multiple WC and will go from there but I'd at least like something on hand in case I need to do something about it.
My waiting out all the other algae has gotten me where I am now.
I'm not going to go nuts dumping things left n right but those two red slime products seem to work great with little to no side effects, so I'll pick one and keep it here for quick use if needed.
Even if to just get it under control so then maybe I could wait it out at that point.
BUT currently I need to do something sooner rather than later, starting with just WCs and observation.

Chemicals will not resolve the cause. I usually just blow off the Cyano until it stops coming back. I recently had red hermits eating it away as well surprisingly.
