I’ve been reefing for over 10 years I have beautiful sps. One thing I always seem to struggle with is cyano. I dose about 5ml of neonitro a day. I will feed lrs about .5-1” cube every other day and between those days I rotate between nori, reef roids, and Red Sea ab+. My nitrates will be about 5 and phos around .05. Alk is pretty steady at 7.5
I run a protein skimmer. Water changes once every 2-3 months at 10%. I dose trace elements weekly and I use kalkwaser for all and ph. I used to never use a filter sock although I just added one about a week ago to see if that would help.
The only time I can get cyano to go away is if I cut back on feeding amount. When I do this I will notice acros start to pale and I will have to just switch back to what I was doing to raise nutrients again and cyano just comes back.
I’m trying to keep nutrients high without the cyano. Any suggestions would be great.
Also I have lots of lives stock. 3 tangs 2 clowns. 6 chromis and a wrasse in a 117g system.
Thanks!!
