A week later no changes in cyano or hair algae. The colonies that were darkening up a bit seem to still be darkening a bit more. I cut the halides to 6 1/2 hrs yesterday which is what I have found to work best in the past.

Today I will add more zeolite rocks, increase the flow through them, and increase the amount of MB7 added as described in the above posted instructions.


-------------------------------------------
As an aside, I have a 10 gallon tank that has been storing my Zoas and Palys for a few months. I stole their tank area for the Christmas tree and planned to drill their tank and put a skimmer on the system so they have just been in a bare-bottom 10 gallon tank with a small powerhead, and a couple pieces of live rock that barely fit in the tank. I also kept a pair of clowns in there and didn't do any waterchanges. Needless to say the nutrients built up and I had quite a bit of strange slimy, stringy light brown algae(?) growth in that tank. I started dosing 1mL MB7 daily to that tank on the 19th and holy mackerel has it made a big difference. The Zoas and Palys are expanding much larger and color has improved quite a bit.
