J/K, It will be fun. Let's go.
No new food. Technically everything is new food since I was fallow for about 8 months. I only started feeding 2 - 3 times a day for past 6 weeks or so.
The amount of cyano I am seeing was enough to make me invest into a reactor and the Hanna checker. That goes to say that I have a good amount...

So I have been seeing some cyano in my tank since I added fish back. No big deal, I feed the fish and my system was without the fish for months so now with fish and food I need to attain the balance again.
That said, I bumped into Mike and Nikki at AO yesterday and had a chat about rowaphos...
