so i am not sure where to post this except in the new to hobby thread...
I stepped away from the hobby awhile ago and decided to get back in.
I am in the proccess of setting up a 90 gallon RR tank. it has been up and running for about 3 months now. lights are 2 @ 150 watt Pheonix 14 ks, with 2 @ 96 watt 460 nm pcs. the skimmer is a Reef Octopus nwb150 (Love it!).
all parameters are reading great.
my fuge light is on 24/7 cycle and the bulb is a daylight R40 flood light, 5000k. here is a pic of my fuge....

my question is this....
the center baffle has become over ridden with cyano!!! i am not talking a little bit, but a huge outbreak. I am wanting to cut the light cycle down to a reverse cycle, but i am concerned that the cycano will make its way to the DT. How long am i stuck with a cyano outbreak in the fuge? will it ever go away with the water changes and what not?
btw, i only have 3 chromis in the DT and i do not over feed. the skimmer is pulling out all sorts of junk, and the cheato is growing very rapidly....
