Keep an eye on things in your tank. Since you disturbed things to battle the cyano, there is a chance you sturred up enough garbage that wasn't removed with the water change. Just a chance though.
Also, if your husband thinks your tank is boring tell him to go back to his FW tank with some fake plants and neon gravel for enjoyment! Then get a nice coral once the cyano is gone for a couple weeks as another kidney shot.

Haha!! Your tank is natural, and natural isn't always exciting, but it is beautiful!!

Lol! He likes both my tanks but he loves my freshwater tank. I've got live plants and ghost shrimp and lots of little fish... It's really fun to watch. He's right about my pico. It's boring right now. I'm just waiting to get the courage to buy some new livestock and coral to make it interesting. I need a flowy coral and some shrimp to liven it up. I actually thought about getting a small damsel but I don't think I have the space for it. I believe they are highly active. I think it's just time for me to get a Duncan.

Thank you! I really wish the trumpet would split already... I am ready for it to get bigger!

Well, it's been all day with the light on and I don't see any new cyano. Yay! My zoas are looking good. Trumpet looks good. Emerald crab is all over the place picking at rocks today. Seen some hermits out and about. I'll be leaving things the way they are unless I see more cyano or anything.

Well, it's been a few days now and no cyano. Also, I saw 2 blue leg hermits and 2 red leg hermits today. I've found 3 "dead" Hermits. So I've actually only had 2 murdered (1 blue, 1 red). One had to be a molt since i started with 6. At least I still have 4!

Can anyone tell me why my zoas are looking like this? Most polyps are open but a few look like this:

Yep, they are eagle eyes. They've been like that the last 2 days. Seems weird.
I just did a 50% wc. I moved the rocks a little. Maybe they were in a little too much flow for their liking. Who knows. I'll keep an eye on them.

I don't really want to use more PFS, which I have a huge bag full off... Any other type of inexpensive sand I can use?
