Any chance of getting a microscope pic of your cyano?

At this point, there's not enough there to pull out.

Amazing what one small change made for the tank.

well done so far, neat hand guiding. I never worry much about cyano challenges.

Nice to see another winner in this battle

It's easy if you have your own discipline with your tank schedule /cheer
*And do not start adding chemical into your tank just because you read the reviews about it

for me they are giving more issue down the road rather than helping so I stay away from them and thinking I'm living in the 80 where there is no chemical bottles available for sale in my country....My tank work perfectly without those...

I tried to handle it with a plan going in and not go crazy.

This is by far the best my tank has ever looked.

Guess that means I should buy some frags.

I think I started my post before you posted your "cleaned it!" message. And you finished your cleanup before I hit Send.

If some siphoning and a water change wasn't at least semi-routine before, that coulde have contributed to the problem in the first place.

I think I missed where the lighting change came into the equation, so I'm not sure what your goal was. Raising it AND removing the lenses would make for a pretty large drop in intensity for the tank though. Did you happen to use a light meter before and after to see how big the drop was?
