hi all,
I recently moved my 108 gallon DT (125 total water volume) reef tank from my business to my home and after a little over a month I am battling some kind of bacteria that I believe is cyano but not 100% sure.
A little history, the tank was neglected for a small stint and had a definite bloom prior to the move. During this bloom I lost several coral and fish and only the hardiest survived including a yellow tang, two gobies, a potters angel, a toadstool coral and some various mushroom coral. After the move I cleaned and scrubbed the rocks and did a lot of husbandry work. Phosphates were high at 55ppb so I added some Gfo and was doing weekly 25% water changes. Water params came in line and the tank water was cleaner than I had ever seen it for about a week. That’s when the new bloom started. I included some pictures below. The cloudy water was due to coral snow I had added shortly before. Thanks for any help!
