Hey all I have a nasty Cyano outbreak and dosed Chemi-clean to deal with it after trying bacteria and coral snow for a while. Corals were all looking fantastic pre-chemiclean. Acro polyp extension was great and euphyllia looked great also. After chemi-clean acros are closed up and so are the hammers. Torches look ok but not as good. I just did a 25% water change and ran some carbon along with UV. Should I be doing anything else and is this normal? Also.....cyano is still the exact same, which sucks.

Should I wait to dose more chemi-clean until they are looking better? I had to do this once before and first dose of chemi-clean did nothing and second dose cleared everything out right away.
