Regarding the Fauna marin amino acids, start off with 1 ml per day and gradually work your way up to the recommended dosage as per the instruction label.

Amino acids promote longer and fuller sps polyp extension but can quickly increase algae growth and darker sps colours if overdosed.

Are you carbon dosing?

Last 2 week having problem fighting with Cyano & hairline algae. But after 1 week of daily dosing of Brightwell Mirco bacter 7. My hairline algae and Cyano is greatly reduce. I am running on NP Bio pellet i believe that my cyano is also taking it as a carbon food source. So during dosing of bacteria i stop my bio pellet. After 3 to 4 days, i slowly add vodka in but small amount around 1ml. After 1 week i test my water parameter No3- 0 and Po4- 0. I believe bacteria is still the best way in removing organic Po4 & No3. 1 week not running my bio pellet the pellet all turn black don't know why it will turn to black colour. So now currently i am using bacteria and vodka dosing method i attach some link for guide on vodka dosing. I might use back my bio pellet once i see greater improve in my tank condition. For vodka i am using Absolute Vodka if go airport and buy will cost less around $25 for 1 litres bottle.

This link explain the pro and cons for vodka dosing: http://www.h2oplusom...eping&Itemid=64

MB7 is a good way to reduce cyano in our tank .. But if you dont mind,i will recommend zeovit coral snow for reduce cyano, and hermit crab for hair algae .. Maybe 1 month ago, i have same problem with you .. There's a lot of Hair algae and cyano in my tank,i try to add CS daily,water change almost 50% add more rowaphos and let my hermit crab doing his job to eat hair algae in my tank.. And now almost 90% hair algae gone, and i never see cyano again .. i hope it works for you ..

oh and nice tank btw ..

After dosing MB7 my hairline algae die off it self without using any snail or sea hare to kill it or hermit crab. Will try your methods once my MB7 / Vodka cannot control my system. Thank for your kind advice. Still very new to sps hope my tank can maintain still got alot of thing to improve. Btw your tank also very nice lubina12
