Today, I scrub and sucked up my cyano bacteria off my rocks, gravel and glass. I took out my stand pipe from my overflow box to clean out the crap on the bottom. After my tank cleared up, I replaced my filter sock. I clean my protein skimmer then tested my water. Nitrates and phosphates are a little high. Still trying to get this cyano bacteria crap under control.

almost killed all my fish and corals. So today before i left to help out chad i turned on the heater from my apex. ( temp was reading 73 and heater is suppose to be on at 74)
(I dont have my email alert set up and have all fans are unpluged). well i got a text from my brother at 3:45 f saying my female anthias is dead...
So i check my phone and realized i left the heater on from around 8pm till 4..( i would go home but am at a birthday party in the ie)
So i told him to open up the canopy and i tuned off all the lights.
I got home today at around 9 and all my fish have ick but the coral look fine.
ill see how everything does tomorrow

Deep cleaning on my sump and first time ever using the shop vac for the tank... man did it work awesome!
Added a small power head to the fuge and fixed one of the power heads in the DT that was having problems.
Moved some rocks around and barely avoided a landslide! :/
Took out my dead Neon Green Sinularia :(:(:(
Fed some R.O.E. and dosed alk.
Oh yeah, and I wished I had longer arms and at least 2 more of them! :)
