I WIN!!!!

The cyano outbreak is about 95% dissipated. This stuff can be beat with patience. It look really bad at it's peak and I almost used chemical warfare. Thanks for the suggestion everyone who chimed in. My aquarium is now again pretty to look at.

I think the cause up my outbreak was a combination of over dosing of trace elements, phytoplankton, reef supplements and not enough flow. Most bottles say dose 5ml/50 gal. once a week. I was doing that, but the problem is that my tank is only 29 gal. I just figured, what's the extra supplements gonna hurt, plus I only had 5ml measuring spoons. I know have a measuring cup that has a mark for 2.5ml and I have been using that instead. Lessons learned.

Glad you beat it. I'm starting to get some myself.

Thanks!

There's was a point where I wanted to use chems. I even bought some ;D , but didn't use them. I just robbed it of nutrients with water changes every other day or so, while siphoning out as much as I could. It was starting to get expensive and tedious as I buy water from LFS. This is motivation to get my own RO/DI unit.
