Hey, finally starting a build thread for my tank! I have been in the hobby for around 3 years which began with a 20 gallon long. I quickly moved to my 80 gallon and ran it for a year-ish successfully until I had a bad GHA/cyano breakout which led me to restart.
This new start will be the same route as in being a mixed reef. I will be trying to be hands off as much as possible and taking it super slow.
Tank 10/2/17
As work got busy, I rarely had time to give time to my tank. Then I got all these algae problems that I could not control. The algae that I kept getting was a type of GHA/turf and cyano. I tried everything from using Fluconazole,Vibrant, 3-day blackout, feeding less, and etc. to control these breakout. I tossed the towel and moved to a restart. I tossed my fish to the garage 40 gallon breeder and the rocks out to dry.
