Thanks, if I do a five gallon water change will this be bad? Can I scrub my rock in the dirty water I take out? Thanks so much I will ask John about that!

I wouldn't do a 5 gallon water change in a 14 gallon tank. Our tanks don't like quick changes and that much of a change could do more harm than good. Have you tried chemi-pure elite? 2 or 3 months ago I was trying to get my tank back on track and the biggest hurdle I had was hair algae. I purchased the chemi-pure elite and along with my clean up crew that I had in the tank it really took care of the algae.

No I haven't tried it but I heard it was good. I'm gonna look to get some. Thanks. Yeah my water is perfect I checked it today so I know I don't need a water change. I just want to took look clean again:.(

Another thing to check is if your tank is near a window and sunlight is fueling the growth. Also, make sure you clean the back chambers regularly (weekly and thoroughly). The biocube is a great tank with a couple tweeks and good husbandry. Good luck!

Of my four tanks the only one I have cyano issues with is the one that has only snails and no crabs? Now that I do not have any SPS in there I may try the Chemipure Elite. I also have a MP10 on it so I know the movement of water is not an issue and my TDS is 0 from my R/O system. Maybe we should start a new thread on snails and cyano or who eats snail poop?
