What else can I do?

if your going to run a fuge for nutrient export unless your system is tiny not really going to see any noticable difference, i would go turf scrubber if thats why you want it that can keep you really low even ulns

Here are some pics after the lights just turned on.
As you can see there is very little of the brown crap, it seems to increase as the day goes on. Do Dino's do that?

[reefwars]

yes its from the amount of oxygen used/provided in photsynthsis(what ive always though)...hence the reason it dissaappears during the night

I don't know if dinos do that, but cyano definitely does.

dinos are famous for it

by the end of the day your tank will be a mess of strings,slime and bubbles again ...prob by midday

[reefwars]

imo cyano is easy as hell to get rid of , dinos can go for months and months with different attempts to remove.

cyano dissappears for a while here and there , dinos is in it for the long haul.


theres reports on rc of people using chemiclean and ending up with dinos , one story is very similiar to yours.

[reefwars]

funny enough though its harder to keep dinos alive then it is to kill them , if you remove some and put it in another tank chances of survival is slim......irony maybe??

See it's frustrating trying to get a diagnosis of this stuff I need to find someone with a microscope.
My tank looks awesome first thing in the morning, but by about 6 hours into the lighting period it starts looking like crap again.

bring it in for testing then youll know for sure(a university should be able to put it under microscope for you) , dinos die in the cold though so they need to be transporeted quickly to the testing site.
