A few months back I started seeing cyano on my sandbed, and it never went away. My corals are thriving and growing well, so I just said F it and I haven't done anything to fix it.
I haven't tested phosphates in months, but I'm thinking maybe it's time to see where I'm at. I hate the way it looks, but corals are so happy, I didnt want to make any changes. I kind of feel like the increase in phosphates have improved coral growth and color as well.
Initially I found that my DI was exhausted, so I replaced my DI resin. I was hoping that was the cause of my cyano, but it's still growing. I've done 40g water changes almost every week for the past 2-3 months, and seen zero improvement.
I guess it's time to dust off the Gfo reactor and see if I can get rid of it.
Anyone else living with cyano??
Scope the sandbed, full of cyano. It's weird, it doesn't grow on my rocks.
Also my T5 bulbs were 13 months old, so I thought that was part of the reason why cyano was growing. Changed all 16 bulbs, and it's still there.

It's a bummer when it actually gets on your sps
