Hello from Greece,

This is my 220lt (58gal) reef tank + 120lt sub (30 gal)

Equipment:

Skimmer Bubble Magus Curve 5
Lighting AI Hydra 64
Circulation AI Nero 5 + Eheim return pump
Cooling TECO Chiller 250
Jebao dosing pump

There is rock in the sub as well as GFO and Haeto
running 14 hours Fluval Sun led. I also use carbon in a filter sock.

I dose Polyp Lab Colours and Fauna kH and Ca. Also Fauna Trace 1 2 and 3. No need for Mg yet.

Weekly water changes 10%

Alk 8dKh
Ca 420
Mg 1380

No3 2

The tank is running 2,5 months. I faced bryopsis who was taken care fast using fluconazole, no side effects. Now I am facing cyano...

It is very nice that you like my video :)

I really do not want to stress my sps with light changes. I blow cyano frequently and run UV 24/7
I also cut down on feeding.

Yassou! From another Greek. I've used Chemiclean to deal with cyano in the past. It will make your skimmer overflow, just leave the cup off so it flows back into the sump so it can aerate the tank like is suggested. In a couple of days it will be gone. I've done this a few times with no problems to the corals or fish.

Geia :)

I know about chemi clean and thanx for suggesting !!

My thoughts are that my tank is fresh and maybe my organics are high. Moreover I know that cyano can become immune to chemi clean if used several times so I want to stabilize parameters for a mounth before using.
