Home from vacation . . . Could use a little advice.

The lighting basically hides the issue, doesn't really resolve it at all. Cyano, being a bacteria issue is pretty much going to be a "what's feeding it?" problem. It'll often balance out if caused with a recent tank move or disturbance as you've kicked up a lot of organics/bacteria food. Skimming, carbon/GFO, patience. Flow will spread it but it'll also allow your mechanical and chemical filtration access to the particles. That's pretty much why patience is the most important; as long as it's not irritating your livestock too badly you're only dealing with esthetics.

Thanks for the info guys. It's not too bad, so I will just wait it out as I have added some factors that might help it out. I'll keep you guys posted maybe a week from now, as my fuge and chemipure hasn't been online for even a week.

Would Red Slime Remover work as a dip? That way I could dip the three corals that are affected by it (rhodactis, Yuma, and Duncan) and leave the stuff on the sandbed to clear up on its own?

I'm not excited about the thought of the 20% waterchanges that come with the chemical.
