Hey guys:thumbup:. Many of you probably don't even want to read this because you fed up of this topic. I'm really asking nicely, please read my story and give your opinion, advice or experience please :
I've got a 300L display with 100L sump.
2x Skimmers and 15cm DSB with cheato: A Dymax LS-20 (1200L/H) and A Reeftek TS-1 (1000L/H)
4 x 54W T5: (not sure what bulbs to put in. Ive got 2 pure actinics, 2 coral blues, 1 x 10000K,1 x 12000K and 2 blue/whites.)-advice which one does best coral growth??
Flow: 7000L/H pumps plus 3000L/H return
Stock: 2x clowns, 4x blue chromises, 1x foxface, 1x baby zebra sailfin, 1x rock blenny, shrimp and CUC.
Corals: rock of mushrooms :P
A couple of months ago when I got back from the holidays, my tank was filled with cyano. So each week I followed MASA's advise. I cleaned my skimmer cup daily and the neck of course and did wet skimming, I did 70L water changes each week and I siphoned everything eventually out last week. There was nothing to be seen in my sump and display. Now again this week it's starting to come out on my sand and rocks, but not very fast.
My water tests came out very good just salinity is 1.021 (not the problem obviously). I don't dose my tank at all.
So reefers.... PLEASE HELP ME OUT!! I really want to start geting corals but the cyano just looks ugly. What else is there?? Anything I must put in my tank or add?? Will it come out even more if I put in the 12000K light bulb or doesnt it matter and what lighting wil be the best for corals not algae??
Thanx so much in advance and everyone please comment. :)
