yeah you might be right. but in my experience cyano is just one of those things that come and go. that said you are right might as well check and see.
Elevated levels of both phosphate and nitrate, bad flow or crappy lights are the causes of cyno and if you No3 and PO4 are high with bad flow that could be the cause of you cyno and GHA

yeah I guess I should check them. GHA is gone a while back. just a little dusting of Cyno.
did did up the flow to a better RT pump a while back. for a RFA tank I fell there is plenty of flow. need to get some part to add the RFG. but the flow I have is blowing the sand bed across the tank and bounce back through the scap.
but i'll test tomorrow and see.
I dont "ghost" feed the tank every often and nothing in it + WC but you are right there could be high Po4 & No3?

funny you ask just passed all the inspections packed & moved pretty much in a day. long day!
filtering water in to a 20L for the fish I need to bring over. tomorrow the tanks should be over.
then gotta set up the fish room and the 2 peninsula tanks.
wish me luck~

if you want to see some pics of the process you can check out the 650P build thread link in my sig.
