Strange that reducing your photo period didn't do the trick, it's always worked for me. Any cyano I've had goes away every day only to reappear the next day. All you need to do is shut your lights...

It would be a lot easier if you could give it to BC Ferries at this side and it could be picked up at the terminal on the other side. It was impossible to get a straight answer from Greyhound. The...

The Aquaconnect bulbs are really blue when you first put them in, but after 4 or 5 weeks they settle down to a pretty nice color. Not sure if they're still not a little bit too blue for my taste...

14 hours is a long photo period. 10 or 12 would be more like it. Do you run a skimmer. A good skimmer should take care of green water pretty quick.

40 gal water change in your tank's not very much. I think you should shoot for more like 50%. Sure sounds like chemical contamination of some kind. Did it start before or after you rock slide?

Jason, you mentioned adding Boraxo, I've never heard of that. Is that for boron? Won't that throw you KH readings off?

I change about 8% of my tank volume every week. It's all part of "tank bonding", can't wait to do my next water change, we've become so close my tank and me.

I used the small pointy syringe that was in an old Salifert KH test kit to inject kalk paste into them. They haven't been back yet. Just don't do too many at once, or you may cause a PH spike.
