Most are gone since I cut back on feeding and rinsed the sand bed.Those fireworms will eat the nudis and eggs thats another predator , hope they are all out also .
I don't see them.The berghias are HERE!
You're not looking hard enoughI don't see them.
What app is this?Good news is that other than calcium being high, my parameters are looking good these days.

Like @piranhaman00 said, it's the MindstreamWhat app is this?
I'm impressed! I was shocked you could keep the appy's alive this long. Once they were gone I figured nothing would live but you are successfully growing cyano! Well done!!! ;Troll;TrollI am now experiencing a nasty cyano outbreak. I decided to reduce my photoperiod back to 12 hours to see if that might help.
Got them from saltyunderground.com. Free shipping on orders over $75.Where did you get the berghias?
I had extended it to mimic the timeframe of sunlight on an actual reef. 7 AM to 10:30 PM is what I had going. This is the post where I talked about it:hold up .... back to 12 hours! what was it ?
I'm playing with my light schedule a little...we'll call it an experiment...
Here's the schedule I've been running:
However, I got to wondering what a typical day schedule is on the reef, so after looking at several charts like this one:
I decided to extend my daylight period as well as my ramping times. My schedule isn't intended to be an EXACT replica of this one (particularly since my viewing time is not on the same schedule as the reef), but I think the time allotments are fairly close... Here's what I'll be running and watching to see how it impacts (or doesn't impact) my reef.
In the above, the light period is 7 AM to 10:30 PM (same timeframe as 4:30 AM to 8 PM in the above natural reef chart). It's blues only to the first point (8:30 AM) and from the last point (9:00 PM) with ramp up from blues only to about 18.5k (the spectrum of the SPS AB+ formula by EcoTech) which runs from 9:30 AM to 8 PM as my peak lighting.
Feel free to poke holes or throw darts or tomatoes (I prefer tomatoes...they're softer).
Thanks! It's nice that someone appreciates the work I put in to keep stuff alive in here.I'm impressed! I was shocked you could keep the appy's alive this long. Once they were gone I figured nothing would live but you are successfully growing cyano! Well done!!! ;Troll;Troll
Yep. I'm all for avoiding quick fixes to most things. I learned my lesson with those on previous tanks. LOL IME most of the time beating cyano is about getting things in balance and waiting it out (that is so long as flow is good...and in my case, I'm running an MP40 at full speed on 50g...I think I'm good there. ).Just please don't use a chemical bomb to make the cyano go away. It will take some maintenance, but using antibiotics like Chemi-clean are only a temporary fix and completely unnecessary imo.
I'm surprised there's anyone in here
