Hi y'all.
I have a little problem with one of my tanks. It has been stable for 2 years or so, then I replaced all the LR and it's now going thru a cycle. (I realized I shouldn't have done that) Now I have brownish-red stringy algae (cyano/redslime) coating everything. Is frequent water changes a good thing during a cycle like this? I already lost my purple pillow coral. [smilie=1,4,5] I don't want to lose any more, but this is the only tank with bright enough lights to sustain the coral frags I have. PLEASE help.
