Like I said in my previous post, this is rather embarrassing, but I'm trying to get it back on track.

I also added a bag of Chemi Pure in my AC70. Giving it one more day, and then going to do another 10 gallon water change and siphon/pick out as much red slime and hair algae as I can. Waiting for another set of lights to arrive and my skimmer, along with some seasoning live sand, and a TDS meter to check my RODI water. Still a ways to go, but even after the first water change battle, I already think it looks waaaaay better, and I'm excited again about my reef tank!

    That first graphic pictures - holy moly. It's like you wanted more cyano than anyone in the history of reefkeeping. lol! Glad to see it you tackled it head on; never fun but the results are obvious almost instantly.
