Posting under the influence is the best.

In any case, congrats on being the 1%.

I agree with you on that , bare bottom not so much

Damn, y'all really love your sand.

Wellp, when you guys have unbeatable cyano and hair algae issues (which is the proposition of the post, not "I'm an advanced reefer and I never get these problems"), you let me know if you find an easier way to get them corrected than removing the substrate for a while

Now do that over a wide sampling of habits and incomes.

Oh, you found an easier solution? I'm all ears.

Curious then as to why this potentially valuable information is being derailed.

Not sure what you're implying here.

I think the spirit of the discussion has become lost under the polarization of BB vs sand.

When I started to have cyano algae problems I checked my RODI unit and realized all filters and membrane needed replacement. I then started to use Prodibio as well and it solved the problem

Okay, now let's pretend your RODI stuff is in good shape and you don't want to spend/afford the $$$ on dosing stuff.

Or how about you're doing everything right but your tank is 3 years old+ and you still have these issues.

Or what if you have a really large bioload because that's what you signed up for when you started this hobby.

Or what if your wife really, really likes to feed the fish and it's conditional to the tank taking up 6' x 2' + worth of the living space in your house.

Or what if this and that and whatever with rice?

Anyway, my point is that I've helped a ton of people overcome these sorts of issues and it all begins with removing old/dirty sand and running for at least a few months BB. You can add after you've overcome your problems if it just sets your soul into eternal torment. Or you can just cover the bottom with corals. Or you can just live with it because a clean tank > a dirty tank.

I'm guessing the variety that should be going into the tank.
