the cyano and other algaes are what is keeping your levels in check. looks like you have some filamentous algaes in the mix also. if you dont remove some fish, you will have never ending battles with algae and bacterial blooms. give this a read, i think you might see why i say that. Newbies, a little something on cycling/breaking in a new reef tank.
also what does your clean up crew consist of? |
I know I am a neophyte on this...but what good would that do? The tank should be cycled shouldn't it? Should we just start over? Aren't there less drastic measures, like carbon, phosban reactor, etc...not sure, just asking if the nuclear option is the right one...
