    It took about an hour and a half. The cyano is in tiny patches every so often. I just manually remove it, but I want to fix the problem rather than hide it.

    Here is a short video of my tank after a slight redo of the rocks on the right side. Sorry about the cloudiness of the water. The video was shot in HD on my iPod. Hence the small picture size.

    Looks great man! Tip on the video..hold it sideways "landscape" and you'll get a wider video.

    I love the clams. Photos don't do them justice.

    Still fighting cyano after about a month. I have tried all sorts of stuff from no feedings, shorter light cycles, fuge lights on 24/7, changed direction of flow, cleaned the sump completely, and siphoning out cyano when I see it. None of this has worked so i will be running ecobak in a NextReef SMR1 reactor and carbon in a NextReef MR1 reactor.


    As for corals, I snagged some SPS and LPS from World Wide corals when I was in Orlando this past week. Really cool store with beautiful display tanks.

    I will take photos tonight or later this week. Some medical things have come up this past weekend so I don't have much time to do anything right now.
