Thanks for all of that. I did order a bunch of cerith snails the other day because I read they eat cyano. I will get some more nassarius snails this weekend but no more turbos, that thing was too big and pretty much useless IMO lol.

My amonia has been at 0 for about 3 weeks at least and my nitrite has been at 0 for a couple of weeks. I got a diatom bloom a couple of weeks ago that lasted about a day or 2. I checked my phosphates and alkalinity before I got my zoas and those all checked out fine. The calcium was a bit low but I used Kent Nano Reef and got the calcium back up and everything tests fine now, other than somewhat high nitates (20) that I think were caused by the bio-balls and crap in that chamber.

The LFS guy that had a nano up there has been guiding me through this slowly and he said averything looks ok to put some soft corals in. Until the cyano outbreak the zoas on one rock all looked healthy and happy but the other rock only had one that was happy, the rest barely opened. I tried moving it but that made that one happy one close up so I moved it back and he opened back up fine. I hope that one makes it.

I am now possitive though that it was the macro die-off that caused it. I am keeping a close eye on it and so far all the macro now look healthy and green. I did find alot of crap on the bottom of the chamber where the bio-balls were and I think it was crap that circulated when I planted my macro. I cleaned that out along with the return pump chamber where a little more of that crap was. Where the bio-balls were I now have a filter over that area and I will clean it daily. I may use that area for a protien skimmer in the future. Saturday I will do another 2 gallon change and my cerith snails should be here by then. Although they did say the ceriths may be inactive for a couple of days after I get them. I sure wish I read about them when I first got the outbreak lol.

I forgot to mention, I got a new pump a couple of weeks ago that pumps 780GPH (head pressure) from my fuge 2 feet below the DT through a split loc-link with a flow adjuster in-line. I had it at about 3/4 open before due to noise but now I am not worried about noise so I opened it up more. It is really pushing the water through now. I am not sure exactly how much is it pushing through but there is some nice flow.
