silica
I've proven that if you dose silica, you can grow diatoms. This did make the tangs happy as they are back to grazing the rocks again. Unfortunately, growth of diatoms hasn't caused the cyano to slow any....I just got both.
So I'm temporarily suspending the silica experiment until I can get the cyano under control.

In observing my previous tank, I saw no reaction either way to using the AC/phosguard or not. Right now, because I have cyano, I'm running it...but I'm not really sure that it is making any difference to anything.

Tank update
Some weeks ago, I introduced a smaller maroon clown fish in the hopes that it would pair up with the older maroon that I've had for years. When I first introduced the new one, the original clownfish attacked it mercilessly. I'm quite sure it would have killed it if I had not rescued it.
I placed the new clown in a small cage on the bottom of the tank for another day or so. That seems to have given the other clown time to get used to the idea of having a friend. Over the course of the next few weeks, the original clown became increasingly friendly, leading to this....they've moved in together and now seem quite happy.

First blood
Zues here got his first taste of human blood when he bit my friend Tim who was watching over the tank for me while I was away. He's nipped me a few times...I guess I don't bleed as easily as Tim!
 Don't ask me what that white line is...it's not a scratch. This fish really moves so you have to pan in order to get a shot of him. The panning has caused some small white object to look that way.

Here's a nice hitch-hiker. When I first saw this guy, he was about the size of a dime. He's already 2". I think I would like to get a few more of these guys somehow.
