I’ve battled cyano in my nano before and it’s such a pain! Looks like your corals are holding strong though. That mix of SPS and LPS in a smaller tank is really impressive. Keep an eye on flow and alk to keep those polyps happy!

I’ve got a Mp10 running lagoon at 90% and a Jebao 10 or something going the opposite direction in the back of the tank. Plus my return is a little under 500 gallons an hour.

I just ordered a tds tester to see if it’s my ro unit but I’ve always had a hard time with starting with dry rock. I did add 5 lbs of live Marco rock from Saltwater fish aquarium to seed it with some good bacteria. I feed the tank a couple jars of pods every month too. The cyano has been getting better but I just blacked out the tank to give it a good kick in the butt lol. If you know any tricks hook a brotha up lol.

Nice! Blacking out the tank can def help reset stuff. For dry rock, patience is key but dosing some bottled bacteria
