Yeah, I got all the jelly removed.. Corals dipped, etc. But yes, it's being sold.. I have no control over it...

It's 7 feet long, 20 inches deep & 2 feet wide.

I believe it is this system:

That sure is the system.

That is a sweet tank!

I live in Calgary too, and use an RODI. Without it the PPM in the tap water is (at least from my tap) 274 ppm. And as people have said the snow melt probably isn't helping matters. Maybe think of investing in an RODI unit for your next tank? I got a nice little one from aquasafecanada.com and it is great. Its a smaller one, under 200$ (easily pays for itself) and you don't have to tap into the cold water line in the basement if you don't want to.

Okay, so I'm being told I have BJS, Cyanobacteria, Red Slime Algae & I should be using Chemi-Clean to treat my system.. Anyone ever used this? Should I give it a whirl?

Another great side effect of tap water. Chemiclean works good if used properly. But is only a temporary solution.

I would try to clear all the brown jelly problem before I would add anything else for the cyano.
Keep fresh carbon running 24/7 and I would add HC-GFO as not it only remove phosphates it actually removes other things added by your tap water.
Keep water flow heavy.
If not done yet I would kill the flow in the system remove the entire colonies with blown slime Break off any heads killed or looks like its infected and the healthy one I would give them an iodine dip then place back in the system.
Keep watching your tank closely for the 1st few days as I am sure you will unfortunately have more LPS dying and keep on the same cleaning as mentioned above.
SPS picture looks like its been slowly dying from the bottom up and believe the brown slime in water column doesn't help.
Like earlier mentioned most likely for the SPS and softies with LPS systems will eventually have chemical warfare unless kept GFO and carbon updated.

Erythromycin medication is always been used under other brand name for removing cyano,although again its a quick fix until you start using RODI water instead of tap water.

I live north end of Calgary and my TDS reading after 4 different micron filters is at 140ppm and goes down to 0ppm going into the tank.
Hope with little loss.
Cheers

cyano is red slime algae but doesn't cause shedding of flesh in lps ;)

you could still have cyano but i doubt it would wipe out corals ive seen tanks infested with it and still pull through just fine:)

chemiclean is a great product and if you have cyano then a treatment is good , but where you are having issues i personally would resolve those first then battle the cyano:)

good luck buddy

if worse comes to worse call matt and ask him to do a drop over and check the system out in person hes good like that and hell do it for you guys:)

that's solid advice right there:)
