I am trying to help clean up my brother's 220. We almost have his cyano under control, but when you look through the tank which is viewable all 4 sides, he has millions of tiny hair like looking fibers floating around. we di have a filter sock in the sump, but it will not eliminate the fibers...
And here is the link to the video. Sorry the video is sideways, but I didn't know I have to turn the cell phone the other way when taking video(new to me!). I would have posted the actual video here, but do not know how to do that...
I do have a couple of pictures , also made a slideshow of them, and have a 1 min video, I'll try to post later when I get home. Tried the other day but was having problems with photobucket.
This was my deresa that I have had going on 8 years now. Bought it from Flying Fish Express when they were...
Was wondering when the cat was coming out of the bag. Pretty sneaky Wendy, we wouldn't let you sell so you go elsewhere! LOL
Seriously though, I am very sorry to hear this, Sorry you had to let this go for whatever reason. The pics showed us an extremely beautiful tank that we all dream of...
If you read my entire post you can see that you better not get excited if your clam spawns. Unlike fish spawning and creating food for the tank, clam spawn can crash the tank. I think the sheer volume of my system helped save mine. From what I read others had cloudy water for a while, while mine...
Well Last night while cooking dinner I looked over at my reef and the water was all cloudy. I could barely see across to the other side. My first thoughts where holey cow what did the kids throw in the tank, followed by what is happening in the sump? Well when I went over to look around in the...
To add to my observances. I walked past the tank before, 1/2 hr after first set of lights turned off, and all traces of cyano under them was practically gone! From this observance I can safely say lighting does definately play a role in it, but now I need to find out does the age of the bulbs...
I have to say it is very hard to hold out. I want to win this battle once and for all. I already bought the brightwells products to start dosing, and I will make up more water next week to hit it hard. I woke up today to bleach white sand and by noon it was covered.
I will observe the tank for...
Wondering that myself. I have seen the light in person and it is a great setup. Very bright and with the right combo of bulbs would be awesome. What are you replacing it with? Although I think I may know.

No need for sorry, That is a legitimate question and also a question in my mind, which is why I am looking forward to seeing the new bulb change.
There have been general consensus guidelines as to the life expectancy of different types of bulbs. The bulbs will still appear to be working to your...
I would go option one for the same reason that Phyl stated. The bottom sides will still get little light anyway. I ask the same question as Ed, do you have parts already? If not, I personally would do 2 sets of 3 on 2 660's(although I am second guessing myself now) and think you could do bulb 2...
For anybody that may have been following this thread or helping me, I did a 100G water change yesterday by siphoning out as much crap as I could (all 100g) and replacing with the water I had made up. I actually had 150g waiting and intended for use, but didn't drain enough :'(
Woke up this...
