pismo_reefer Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 I was just walkin thru mah hallway and glanced over at the tank.... Guess who was lookin right back @ me.... My lil' Angler Wannabe... her home and the reason i couldnt find her for 3 days.... (she's actually in there if you look close enuf.) So, after 3 days bein' MIA.... She just pops up outta nowhere. She's still as fat and healthy as she was at the store, so she must be eating. * I do general tank feedings of PE Mysis and Silversides, so its not farfetched. Im just happy she's okay!

mew Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 your tank is looking sweet! what's your secret to keeping the curved corners clean? i have such a hard time scraping that part. hope that cyano clears up soon for ya. suck some of it up, get more flow in that area? i've got my vortech mp10 cranked almost 100% now. i'm sure that helps prevent cyano. Link to comment
Militant Jurist Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I've got my MP10 cranked up nearly all the way, but still no help. I just suck up the cyano when it gets bad. I recently read an article about cyano's cause being so difficult to address. In an overfed rich system, the problem is obvious. However, the article talked about even a nutrient poor system being overrun with cyano because apparently it can bind sulfur and even nitrogen and use it as a food source. Essentially, cyano is the devil! Link to comment
asting Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Cyano is the devil. Aging light bulbs can also cause it. Link to comment
pismo_reefer Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 what's your secret to keeping the curved corners clean? thanks for the compliments.... i use one of these.... http://www.aquacave.com/replacement-blade-...rine-2192.html# I just use the blade (no handle), and some elbow grease..... both corners on the top are rounded, which makes them perfect for the corners of the tank! I highly suggest them for this brand of tank! Cyano is the devil. Aging light bulbs can also cause it. Hmm... My actinics are OLD. I bet thats it.... Link to comment
tyty22 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Cyano will go with time. eventually tank parameters will become more consistant sort of like an equilibrium type deal and Cyano won't be able to survive. Just suck it out every wc and expirment with obvious possible causes. My tank had cyano issues for several months but time eventually brought it to an end. Link to comment
blizzardscout2 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Hey Pismo, Cyano does suck, it took me 4 months to get rid of my outbreak due to a heat incident before Air conditioning was added. I still have a hair algae problem from that! Good luck man, your tank looks absolutely splendid, keep up the good work! Link to comment
asting Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hmm... My actinics are OLD. I bet thats it.... The wavelengths supposedly approach the red spectrum further as they age. I have new bulbs in route to try and fix my 29. It was cyano free for a month or so, but the bulbs aren't great Link to comment
pismo_reefer Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Thanks for the advices and compliments guys.... I moved a few things around so I can put my other Koralia Nano back in. It was blowin' the heck out of a few things with 2x Nanos... but that should be fixed now. The weapons I will use against the Cyano: - Moar flow. - Less light. - Less food. - New Actinics. Its on, Cyano! Link to comment
pismo_reefer Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 so i just got done reading the "how to kill brittlestars" thread.... CLASSIC READ/ thanks scott. Link to comment
gabe3eb Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Good luck getting rid of it. I frequently decrease my photo period anytime I notice any "bad stuff" sort of algae growing. That coupled with the other methods and hopefully you can beat it. Good luck. Link to comment
spanko Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Just an FYI on cleaning the glass. I have a Super Nano Nimble. Cleans well except for that darn hard green algae that without fail grows right along the sand bed line. I took the Velcro pad off the inside magnet and attached a pc. of scrubby pad to it with a few strategically placed dabs of Super Glue Gel (the reefers friend). Just pulled the scrubby part off of the sponge. It is amazing how well it cleans. These pads. Link to comment
