To those of you fighting cyano...

Don't feel so bad. It's a pretty tough organism to beat.

I just got a bunch of conch snails to clean my problem up. 5 of them for a 75 gallon with a 5 in DSB that was poorly maintained when I got the tank. A few months later, no cyano, but I am still battling phosphates around .25. Getting them to 0 is a slow process, but it is coming along with GFO and a 40 gallon refugium.

Any suggestions on phosphate removal? I've thought about replacing the sand bed, but I'm assuming it will leach out phosphates over time, and as long as I don't have clumping, I should be fine, right?
