I am always baffled by the goings on on my tank and how the tank upstairs and downstairs can have the same water running through it yet have different issue like they were completely seperate. The downstairs tank has a wicked cyano outbreak on the sand bed yet everything is fine upstairs. I have been doing 50 gallon water changes every 2 weeks so I thought I was keeping a head of things. I am bad on doing water testing so I have no parameters (I guess thats the first step in diagnosing). I recently found that my ro/di was at 339 ppm so I replaced all filters and added a sediment prefilter before the ro/di, removed my Phosphate media and reactor for a cleaning and media replacement, I have also added a Vortech MP40 to direct flow across the front sand bed. Any sugestions on what else to look at?
