How long after syphoning the cyano does it come back
I have not siphoned yet. I will give it a few more days and see how it does. At the same time will blow it off as they appear.
No. There is a NO3 surplus. I have been dosing phosphate though at a rate of about 0.04 ppm. This tank is weird. My past tanks always used up nitrate first.

Get yourself a kessil h80
Let see how this works before spending that kind of money for a refugium light. The area is small it's more like an experiment. The cyano and other ugly stuff seem to be largely in check.

I have this guy; Banded Sleeper Goby, Brownbarred Goby - Amblygobius phalaena , and he's working out well for me. It spends all day working and spends most of it's time out front where I can enjoy him. It hovers close to the bottom, and while it gets sand on corals on the sand bed it's not a storm. Assorted mushrooms, zoas, palys, polyups have been getting sand on them and I see no negative affects on them. I got it a Sea Level. I was there yesterday and they have plenty in stock. Smalls for $30 and bigger ones for $60. They have diamonds in stock too, $60. I'd been wanting a sand sifting goby, but didn't want the nice new meat coral I'd gotten from @brokereefer disturbed. After a conversation with him, as he has a diamond, I did it. Maybe we're more sensitive to sand on the corals then they are.
It hasn't been so bad lately after I syphoned out most of it. I actually have red slime remover but will try to fix it by other means. The cyano tend to disappear by itself if the condition is good.
cool fish. Either that or the diamond. I have almost nothing on the sandbed. I think I have seem these fish and wonder why people would buy them.
An algae blenny is added. I have some hair algae on the rocks. Bought 3 emerable crabs they just disappeared. A blenny will add a lot of interest to the tank. But this one has a sunken belly. Hopefully it will survive.
ACC was having a snail sale in the weekend. Not the $1 one but cheap enough. Bought a bunch, much needed.

I have a starry blenny. Named him Ugly Vinny. Great personality. When I feed the tank it comes and nips on my hand and will sit in my hand. Love this fish.

Come get a hug fishy
The diamond goby doing what it does. It has really made a nice cave for itself after exploring different part of the tank. I have no corals on the sand bed except a couple of ricordias. maybe i will destroy his home hurricane ida style and see it got rebuilt …

The rock will absorb/release phosphates until it's in equilibrium with the water.
