Hi everyone, my name is Marcelo, I'm from Sao Paulo, Brazil, I have a RSM130D and I participate on Red Sea Owners Club Forum.

My reef is running for 6 months and I recently added a maroon bubble tip (see below). I think it is doing well and I am not feeding with nothing extra, except for the light.

Actually, this is my first question: is it ok if I keep like this or it is better to add something?

The other thing is: I have cyano or diatoms in the reef (see discussions about at: http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums...obacteria-what-should-i-do-2.html#post1089294).

I received a suggestion to keep lights off covering the reef for some days. This would help with cyano and would not hurt the corals.

But what about the nem? Would it be a problem?

Thank you and nice to meet you!

The anemone is photosynthetic, but generally you need to be feeding him pieces of deli shrimp every couple days.

is the cyano just on the sand? You could try to siphon it out for now...
