Thanks guys.

In the beginning when it happened I did quite a few large water changes and manually removed as much of the rotting food as possible from the tank. That was the end of July and early August. The rest of August I focused on manually removing the cyano, at first every day, and later every 2nd day.

Now I'm at the point where I blow off the cyano every 2-3rd day, and I usually scrape my glass concurrently. I used to only have to clean my glass approximately every 10 days. The last piece of the puzzle is dialing in my parameters; my system sucks back magnesium like no tomorrow and I'm constantly needing to bump my dKH right now. The fine tuning of parameters on a system this size is not that fun sometimes.
