@jmadden184 well hope I get the same luck with a few tweaks

Good choice of salt. I've been using reef crystals exclusively for the life of my tank. I would get cyano from time to time, because I didn't make my own RO/DI water. You never know what is going with the systems at your LFS. They make a LOT of water, so who knows if they're doing maintenance on their RO/DI unit the way they should. Once I started making my own I haven't had a problem.
