You have a good valid point there Ski. I have stopped dosing supplements for 2 weeks now and already have seen a reduction in the spreading. It seems like the Cyanobacteria is consuming a lot of nutrients in the water, and snuffing itself out. That works lol. But in the long run, a PhosBan Reactor would make sure that the problem doesn't rise again..

I will post updated pictures of the progression so you can see the difference.

Thanks for staying tuned into this thread everyone!
