I had same problem, I tried no light for 3 days all gone and went bac again after a week , I tried chemical cyano remover did not helped finally I bought a orange spoted diamond goby and all gone he is cleaning the sand bed everyday.

RO/DI would be a good start. Letting your tank mature and stabilize while performing regular maintenance and targeting optimal water chemistry will help too. Will think link work for you? http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sea...archid=1606762

i feed my fish a mix in the morning i feed them a peice of seaweed then when i get home i feed them a bit of bloodworms mixed with a peice of shrimp meat as for light what should i do about the corals then? how much light is enought for them?

Sea hares eat algae not bacteria. Cyanobacteria is a bacteria not an algae.
