So... I'm noticing this evening that my tank has an overall unhealthy look and feel to it. I knew this would happen; it was only 3 weeks ago that I was walking around with my chest out, boasting about how well my tank was looking and feeling.
I have a slowly worsening Cyanobacteria problem (there... I said it...)that isn't improving through traditional strategies. Removing Chaeto from the fuge, UV Sterilization, Substrate vacuuming and increased water changes have been unsuccessful.
One thing has changed:
As an experiment, I switched from Reef Crystals to Red Sea Pro about 6 weeks ago. Maybe the switch in salt changed the chemistry in a way more favorable to Cyano growth?
Open to suggestions.
