    Cyano with undetectable phosphates! Why?!

    I have cyano but my nitrates and phosphates are undetectable on the test kits. Why is this? How do I get rid of it? All I've read is to lower phosphates and it will go away. It has not!

    I got home today and noticed a red spot on my lobo and a little red dusting on the sand just below the spot. It looked like the flesh was receding too. I turned the coral around to get a good picture. The red on the sand just floated away. I already know its bleached, I bought it like that and...

    Anyone know what this is?

    It's only on the back wall of my Biocube. Diatoms maybe? I don't know why it would only be on that wall though. And then the red stuff? I get build up on my glass every few days, but nothing major. Can anyone help out please?

    Do i have too much light on my colt leather?

    Have a biocube 29 and I also added a 21x1watt led fixture to the stock lighting. My colt sits directly underneath this fixture at the top of my tank. I started to notice the polyps looking like they are in the pics. I can only figure that it might be getting "burned" by the light. What do you think?

    What is this?

    Bought my biocube from someone else. I took out the bio balls and the stock pump. All over them are these hard worm and shell looking things. And I had to clean out a lot in the bottom of the chambers. What are they?
