The tank is a 32gal. http://www.reeffrontiers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20735

I'd probably run a Seio in there over a maxijet for broader flow or a Tunze nano stream. In any event, cyno usually won't dissapear over night. I had it growing in my sump and it took a few weeks for it to totally go away. It got less and less each week, but didn't happen over night. You'll have to keep up with water changes and limiting nutrients in the tank and increase your water flow:)

A friend used Marycin 2 for his cyno
and it took care of that (at least for a while) but he lost most
of his corals soon after. I just stopped overfeeding my fish and kept up
with the water changes and the cyno dissapeared.

I would think that Marycin 2 isn't a safe bet to be using in your display tank. It is a medication and I'm sure it has some sort of copper in it as well. Not positive, but meds. like these you would want to only use in a QT or hospital tank.

It doesn't have copper but contains erythromycin.
Even though, I would never use it in the display tank.
