I never kept a soft coral, despite the recommendations most will give, just jumped in with a torch, then some acans, brains and trachys.
You didn't do anything about your real problem (high nutrients and lack of flow), just the symptom (the cyano). You have too many nitrates and...
You should do quite a few things to get your tank straightened out for the long haul. The cause of your algae issue is excess nutrients due to...
Is this something you mix water in frequently but don't clean regularly?
Both. With the kit, you get both kinds of magnesium, so you don't overload your system with Sulfur. Other than that, the product is exactly the same...
I use BRS (3 parts) as well.
I pour in water daily on my system. But if you use an ATO, and a snail crawls onto the switch, it can end up letting water flow for quite a while....

I see nearly no pods during the night on my rock, but they're active during the day in large numbers.
The biggest problem with a RSM when dealing with a fuge/sump is that the stand they sell for it isn't built to accommodate a sump, and neither is the...
Use your finger as bait? I've heard they're too smart for most traps, but a trap is likely your only option other than a tank tear down. Shrimp or a...
With my iPhone plan (and Nokia N900 phone), I get the unlimited mobile mins to AT&T, unlimited web/mms/sms/visual voice (if I still had an iphone)...
H/O, forgot something important in my diagram: [ATTACH]
They likely ate all the ones you can see. Does your rock have a lot of small crevices that your fish can't get in to?
