As suggested there's probibly other causes, overfeading is usually the most common. Does your tank get natural sunlight in it? due for a bulb change?
Good suggetsions so far...I have usually sem cyano in my tank when my bulbs are due to be changed... how old are your lights?

The bulbs are 6 months old.

I just did a 16 gallon water change so we'll see how things go. Planning more in a couple days.

Corals are still closed up, definitely doing another water change tomorrow, maybe a partial one tonight.

On a brighter note I found a peppermint shrimp I've been missing for about two weeks in the overflow box!

Here is the fox coral, somewhat inflated but definitely not fully.


The sand bed was clear yesterday now already turning brown.


Frogspawn closed up


Kenya trees loving it.

Are you running an ATS (thought I saw your handle in another forum). Is it helping?

I've just added the ATS so no help so far, just gonna do lots of water changes.
I'm on the algae scrubber site so SM can help me with the build.
