Battling a bit of a cyano outbreak at the moment. I don't feed too much (a couple of pinches per day of pellets, and a small piece of Rogger's reef food, the water is changed automatically (10 gallons per day on a ~400g total system), and the lights are LED, so my main suspect is the crap at the bottom of the sump. I'm going to shop-vac the sump this weekend, and hopefully things will improve...

I'm also going to run some phosguard to make sure my phosphates are low. I need to buy new test-kits because my current ones are somewhat old.

So, no pics because it wouldn't be pretty

I'll get back to y'all when things are recovered back to normal.

On the larger issue. I've not yet put in the LCD screens along the back/side of the tank. The main reason for this is that I've yet to figure out a good way to make them removable for cleaning the glass once they've been installed. To be fair, I haven't put *too* much effort into this yet, my kid's just starting kindergarten, and things have been ... busy

Having said that, things are always busy, so I'm going to have to pull my finger out sooner or later...
