I watched the first episode. It was entertaining. I was a little confused about the fish selection for the tanks. That, and they filled the tank with water and dumped the fish in. However, there...

I never had cyano with H2Ocean. Actually, I've never had ANY problems with that salt. Are you sure it was the salt? Could be many things.
