Love how clean your setup is. Mine never end up so elegant.

Funny seeing two different pumps being used, the tunze and vortech. I see the tunze and think the cord in the tank is ugly. I see the vortech and think the wire and pump housing on the out side is ugly. Personally still perfer the look of the vortech but the directional flow adjustability of the tunzes is nice.

So what to do, this is an opportunity compromises.
TUNZE pumps are good that you can direct the currents on the diagonal.
Although I personally do not like the look of wires in the display.

Since that time, I was faced with a heavy infestation of cyanobacteria.
Film green covered all the stones and sand chat. I was shocked by this, and fought as best he could. Water changes, change of fillers in the reactor, the bacteria. Did not produce results. This went on for almost three months.
And so I found by accident one way and decided to try, come what may, I thought. ??????? ?? ??????? ??????
And the glory of the gods, it worked! I'm happy.

The treatment process. Add 16 tablespoons of powder to remove all the filters, turn off the skimmer. Turn on the compressor. This is done for two days.
Here are some photos at the same time cleared.
