How long was it between the first two posts? That first set of pictures looks like you had a TON of cyano, but it appears you've done a good job getting rid of it by the second set...

Looks much better....what kind of lighting? If you dont use a flash and slow doen the shutte speed your pictures will show much better what the tank actually looks like. The flash messes up the colors and makes all the algae pop...
