Ive been battling what I think is Cyano, or Dino's for about a month now. Wonder if its related????? Every 2 days my rocks and sand are covered with red/brown. Turkey baster gets it off easy though.... Makes me mad

My "one day of darkness" experiment continues...It has been almost three weeks since the single day of darkness and my cyano has not yet returned to where it was. The tank was extremely clean for 1 week...much, much better than usual for the 2nd week and still very good by the 3rd week.

It would seem that a single day of darkness will last me about 1 month to keep cyano under control.

It has been 10 days since Buster got slashed (I now presume by the Achilles). It would seem that he will recover completely within 2 weeks.

I would say that his fuzzy spots have not improved and may be slightly worse over the past two weeks.

How is the PBT? Another question, I noticed that in both pics of your pbt he is in the same area of your tank. What is it that he likes there, or is drawn to???
