Ok thanks. It goes in tomorrow ... 'nuff is'nuff with this stuff.
Drew - I started using Coral Snow about 2 weeks in when the slime first started appearing. I tried both mixing it with the zeobak and without for several weeks and it just hasn't kicked it back. There were sort of 2 different slimes going on and when Greg had his red slime problem I followed his thread and followed the recommendations given to him and one of the slimes fell back a little, but the really thick, really dark magenta/red sheeting style cyano continued and never did abate (basically just got steadily worse). I've been siphoning out gobs and gobs of it every day ... unfortunately a futile effort as it just comes back the very next day. ("The cyano came back .. the very next day .. the cyano came back .. they thought it was a goner but the cyano came back .. it just couldn't staaaaaaaay awaaaayyyyyyyyy....") ...So unfortunately Coral Snow isn't going to help on this one.
On a different topic, .... I was incredulous when I found this, but I found a patch of bryopsis sprouting up on the back of a powerhead. Geeeeez, so much for zeovit holding the filamentous algaes at bay. And this red dulce / kelp sort of macro algae I have in my carpet tank is growing great guns. I thought macros in a refugium, and the hair algaes, were all sort of supposed to fall back and wither away in a zeovit tank. I really wonder if something is wrong with my zeo. Like maybe I'm using expired or fouled, one of, or combination of the zeostart or zeobak or zeofood ... None of them smell "off" to me though, and the ones that do have expiry dates, are well into the future (2009). So I don't know. Maybe it's not that, but still I wonder...
