This may be why I didn't get cyano (at least, not yet). I've been dosing Coral Snow from the get go. 10ml daily, but I cut back a few weeks ago to 10ml once a week.

Cheers,

That's the million dollar question

For all intents and purposes, it's miracle juice, haha.

Well all I know is that right now I need the miracle juice!

I don't have time to go grab the coral snow now but I will get some this weekend and see what it does.

Coral snow has never done anything significant for me. Turns your tank milky white for a few hours...by the time it clears, you're happy that the tank looks better!

I cleared out the cyano this morning and just came home to find it back but about twice as much!

This really sucks...

I wonder if it does have a lot to do with my very high bio load?
