Cyano is beating me. It is slowing killing my tank. According to my ability to measure water quality, I've improved my measures to the finest they've ever been.
I feed only a little bit of food every 2 days. Besides, there's no phosphate or nitrate detectable that might point to overfeeding. All water is RO/DI. I do weekly clean up including water change. I grow a little macro algae and harvest a little bit each week.
I changed my MH. More light = more cyano.
After months of fighting (I'm pretty patient), I tried Boyd's chemi-clean, but it has had no impact and I'm afraid to try again for fear of totally crashing the system. (Anyone with personal experience with this product?)
I have read everything there is to read about cyano control/prevention and have been doing everything suggested...for months...and it has just slowly spread to the point that it is beginning to choke out a few soft corals.
I don't even know why I'm writing this because I'm certain no one is going to tell me anything that I haven't read a thousand times already...I'm putting 5 or 6 hours a week into battling cyano and I can't take it anymore.
