Well here is my what my tank looked like a month ago

it use to look the same...until today I took the PVC out and threw all my coral in my fuge...well the new aqua scaping still isn't done so I had to put everything back into the tank. The pumps are all back on now...but that's not the problem...im having an epidemic with cyno so I decided to dose it with this anti red stuff which has in bold letters "use with skimmer on" so I was thinking hmm im getting a mag 9.5 today from Justin (my skimmer needs a new pump) so I can just turn it on then. Well I hooked the pump up plugged it in only to find out my skimmer turned into a fountain and water pretty much came out of every hole in the skimmer....I guess the mag 9.5 was too much for the lil ol skimmer. So now im hoping my lil aquaclear 200 can replace the skimmers job and take the chemicals out on its own unless I find a pump first or....im going to have to do a hell of a water change which wouldn't be good since I use that tap water filter which takes pretty much a day for 10 gals of water. Did I mention before I had 1 lil percula clown...and as of today I purchased another clown and a tang from Justin...so hopefully the fish wont die, btw now that we are on this topic...what do tangs eat exactly? Cabbage and flakes? Well any suggestions ?

First suggestion, Pretty Please with sugar on top make that pic smaller! I have to scroll across the page to read your post, and it's a PITA!

What was justin feeding the tang, and was it eating it? Formula 2? Algea from your fuge might work as well.

I'd work on finding the cause of the cyano before you dose the tank. I'd bet it's your tap water filter. You might be better off buying some RO water and doing a big water change. How big is your tank? what is your feeding schedule?

If you're going to buy 50 gallons of RO water, You're almost paying for an RO unit. Which I highly recommend.
