Well I figured I'd show you guys my 6 gal fluval edge. It is kind of empty now, due to a major "heatstroke" . I live in a dorm at ISU with no air and my tank got up to 89 degrees. And killed my mother of pearl frag, setosa, cared hot chilli pepper, open brain, frogspawn, hammar, flowerpot, cyphastrea, bonsai, stag, and three different frags of acans. My cleaner shrimp, my bicolor basslet, and my fire fish. But after all that here's what survived and my tank now!

And this guy who has survived 6 tank moves, an ich outbreak that killed the 10 other fish in the tank, and this.

Yeh I've had a heck of a time with saltwater tanks but I'm not giving up because and much as they stress me out I love them! Yeah and the ich outbreak killed about $500 worth of fish.. And it made me have to take down my 150 gal

Vacuum the sand bed to get rid of it and lots of small water changes. Feed less and shorten your light schedule. Also depending on your lighting might be time for new bulbs.
 
I have leds and there only 3 months old. And I'll try the others
 
Thanks man I just won a thing on here and I'm getting a free uv acro. It's pretty insane I'll post pics when I get it.
 
New tank additions!

he buried himself in the sand lol
 
Be careful with the scooter blenny, If he starts to get skinny you will probably loose him. I had one in a 40g and I had to dose copepods to keep him healthy and it was a well established system, I ended up giving him to a friend with a 200g so now he is all kinds of fat and happy, and I don't have to waste money dosing pods. But if you were able to get one on the rare occasion that will eat frozen or pellets, then you should be good. Most dragonets will only eat live copepods and what not, some will take to frozen an pellets (I have a green mandrin that eats pellets and frozen thankfully). But other then that great lookin nano! Love the look of little nanos..still thinking about adding one to my office desk haha.

Forgot to add about the cyano. Mainly its one of three things lol.

1. Feed less/do more water changes.
2. Decrease time the light is on.
3. Add more flow
