Didn't touch the cyano in the least.

The cyano never came back after that treatment.

FWIW/HTH/IME/etc.

What is in Red Slime remover? I seem to remember someone telling me once it can really screw a tank up. I can't remember what exactly they said but I do seem to remember being warned about the stuff.

I am seriously debating going back to a good old refugium, ozone, kalk, ect. to keep nutrients down in the new tank over ZEO. I know I should be giving it more time but I am not even a fan of having to dose so much and test everything all the time, ect.

Seems like so far it has done the tank some good but also been a pain. I think what I will do is see if someone wants to buy the reactor package from me. If I can sell it easily, then I will not do ZEO on the new tank but if not, then I will stick with it. LOL...seems like such a stupid way to decide but I don't really care either way at this point. I just kind of want my tank to go back to how it was pre-ZEO
