Just an update, i actually lowered my alk to 7.5-8.0 for two weeks, kept my temp steady ( lower) from 79 to 76.2 , heavy skimmed, changed bags every two days manually scrubbed and removed, changed my phosban and carbon bi-weely(halves) and ncreased random flow..i am keeping my temps at 76.2 still because my corals look realy heathy with very long P.E and sowly bumped my alk back up to 9-9.2 where i usuallly keept it. I did have some small coral loss due to cyano( mostly dead edges on caps) and some of my sticks took a sight hit to the tips but i think that was more me playing with alk than cyano. they are already coming back . I still have some red slime, but knock on wood it heavily decreased and continues to do so...
