    So, the fuge is up and running. Seems to be working as well, had nitrates up to 20 ppm the other night after some heavy feeding. 2 days later it was 0. But, now I am starting have have cyano in the fuge. Should I be worried?

    .. like Vegas "what happens in the fuge stays in the fuge"..just kidding, but kinda so in regards to some algaes...that's the whole point, or a lot of it anyhow..that's why its important to have it running slowly thru...but not tooooo slow, which may be the issue here..just guessing mind you. shoots some pics out here and some flow rate info, maybe the pros can chime in..or give me a call...perhaps its much-a-do about noth'n. : )

    Cool, will do soon.... Closing tonight and opening tomorrow. :-/

    I do know I have a mag drive 9.5 as a return pump, and I feel it's a bit light anymore.
