Hi all - I think I finally have my tank back under control after a large cyano issue.. it was plaguing my tank for months and I have been very busy and feeling so run down I didn't have a lot of energy for the tank.. I considered getting rid of it but lacked the energy to do that even.. lol.. Pretty pathetic I know, but it turns out I had a low level sinus infection for the last, 8 months probably, that and I wasn't getting enough sleep. So thanks to breathright strips and more sleep I am feeling so much better.. I finally got off my beehive and addressed the cyano... re-aquascaped opening the LR structure more, had to pull a couple rocks to cook them.. I might do one more even.. at any rate, I added more pumps.. a Hydor Koralia #2 and a Tunze nanostream 6025.. the Tunze rocks over the K#2.. wow. I am so happy with the 6025.. it's unmodded right now, but I am thinking about replacing my K#2 with another 6025.. So, that combined with more agressive water changes seems to be doing the trick.. I still have some cyano, but it's waning off.. I have Chemiclean also and was thinking about adding a 1/2 dose to my tank just to ZAP the traces of cyano left.. or should I just not use that? hrm..
Anyways.. so I want to start stocking my tank up a little here.. I want to get some mini brittle stars and one large one, for clean-up purposes (I have a very active army of hermits and snails also, but the those mini brittle stars seem to get down and dirty with the detritus.. I want to get a couple more Zoa colonies and muchroom rocks.. and maybe some SPS or LPS corals.. in stages mind you.. but what shop should I go to for these? I am in Marin (Tiburon to be exact.. imagine that! ) and I know of PetClub, but not much there in the way of inverts or corals... I have been to that 6th Ave place but I wasn't that impressed with the stuff they had there.. place was a mad house also.. wow! maybe I should give it another go? What about Planet Reef in Richmond?
