Thoughts on this hammer. Tank has go through the wringer this past week with a cyano outbreak, velvet killing all fish and 30% water change trying to get ammonia down. Dosing prime but still around .28. Not sure what else to do!!

So couple weeks ago I had to move my trumpet coral bc my RFA smothered it. It’s finally showing signs of coming back 🙌

My favia coral however, went from vibrant and thriving to suddenly turning brown. I had a lot go on in that time… new wave maker that I was fine tuning placement, treating Cyo-Control for a relentless Cyano outbreak… any ideas why it might have suddenly lost its color?

Been dealing with Cyano since February. I’ve had Chemiclean to use but have been exhausting all other natural methods before I use it. I must say, I’m really impressed with Tropic Marin Cyo Control. I completed the final dose today (which is why the water is a little cloudy temporarily) and it has reduced the Cyano by 75% so far. Paired with some maintenance changes, removing the Cyano before each of the 3 doses, it’s really impressive how things are clearing up. Even the back wall almost completely cleared up after the first dose. 💪🏻💪🏻

Going on a little over a month and just got out of the uglies. Had a bunch of diatoms and maybe the smallest amount of cyano. Used my other two set ups to jump start this system and it seemed to work. Nutrients have been stable along with all other parameters and I have to say this tank loves to eat magnesium lol. All the lps seem to be loving this system for sure… thanks for looking and happy reefing my friends.

Has anyone had any success with this? I’ve been battling cyano off and on since February, made changes to flow, reduced coral feeding frequency, stabilized nitrates, etc and I’m still battling it. I have Chemicleqn but been afraid to use it and was holding out as a last resort. I’m planning on trying it this weekend then I saw this when I was getting some other supplies.
