Try to increase your alk (KH about 8-9 dH°) and try to hold pH between 8,2-8,4 to stop the massive grow of cyano.

The other water parameters should be at correct level.

Then clean your rocks...

I agree with MCaxmaster.

Large amount of detritus (too many fishes or too less streaming) and very limited nitrate are necassary to increase the H2S amount. This is my own experience.

H2S is often produced in an DSB, if the filter bacterias, which normaly should reduce nitrat (NO3), haven't enough organic matter or nitrat (NO3) to reduce and they have to choose...

Why should it be a risk? I always thought, that a full-glass tank is more stable then a standard tank, which is sticked together with silicon .

Important is, that the blue spectrum has a wide range from 400 nm to 500 nm. I think in generally the blue bulbs with 450 nm or 460 nm is more ideal for the most corals. The Maximum peak should be at...

Yes,

@Froggy

Yes, this is what I mean. Good answer.

Why you don't use amino-acids and/or oyster eggs???
