yay! a turnaround!! Cyano sucks. I've had patches of it in my tank for ages it seems. I just suffer quietly though, I know there are worse algaes out there
 And yes your tank still looks pretty darn spectacular to me

Hey, the Achilles is right-side up!
 Tank looks good Marie. I know things can get frustrating (beleeeeeeeeive me I know. I'm still there, I'm there every day). Hang in there. You have a magnificent setup.

I have to say this is a case where a little experience payed off. Knowing every coral intimitely, I knew by reading coral body language that things weren't right and had started to remedy the situation even before the cyano and dinos showed up. Unfortunately it didn't save one of my favourite corals
 This is the one I lost

Tank looks great. You did such a great job with the recovery. Do you remember where you got that "casualty" originally so I can see if I can get you another frag of it? Glad it wasn't that one Tom & I really admired on your right overflow box.

I've changed the RO membrane, switched the carbon for chemi-pure elite (has a phosphate remover in it),lots of water changes, clean the skimmer every 2 days, have the refugium light on 24/7, dropped one of the feedings everyday, slowed the calcium reactor down, add vinegar in with the kalk, increased water flow, keep the crap off the rocks and I do the "dino/cyano go away" dance daily

What does adding vinegar to kalk do?
