This fact of turning over the sand, fits in nicely with my research so far, thanks. Have you got a photo of your sand / cyano?

I see where your going with this... you may be right as i didnt get a cyano outbreak till i dropped a powerhead into my sand. following along to see where this goes.


and WOW that's a lot of purplenightmare bacterium right there .

Yeah there isnt alot of it on the sand just all over the rocks.I never had any in any of my tanks since i have been keeping marine for 5 years now.I only came along when i bought a coral from a fellow reefer and there was abit on teh base ever since then its spread,
