I am dosing to many things right now. I actually turn off my Skimmer roughly 4 hours daily so I can dose the MicroFactor7 and Vibrant. I blew off what I could on the scape, though it wasn't much, and left the rest on the sand bed. Once I feel the Dino's are fully beaten, then I may deal with the Cyano. I just need the Dino's to be gone first.I thought you had more coral in this tank! I still say remove what cyano you can, then hit it with the Chemiclean and blackout.
I've ran chemiclean in my softie tank twice when my nutrients got out of wack. It was very successful, but only when I got my nutrients normalized immediately after. After the treatment, I tried doing a large water change to remove particulates, but it didn't do much. It was great for knocking down my nutrients though.
Does your skimmer have a drain line? What I found was easiest was to let the skimmer overflow into a 5 gallon bucket for an hour or two. I also discovered that skimmate has an almost identical specific gravity as your tank water, so I immediately would replace the skimmate with fresh saltwater. I had a medicine free-ish tank in 3 hours after the treatment was complete.
I maybe seeing an end to this, BUT, I do not want o get ahead of myself and mess it all up.
I will still do another 3-4 day blackout in a week or two, I just need for the MicroFactor7 and Vibrant to take more of a hold. After this last blackout, I truly saw a difference in the Dino's, which, brings me to today.
