I used a ChemiClean to battle green cyano and it worked flawlessly. I knew my exact water volume and dosed ChemiClean based off that. I would guess most people don’t know there exact water volume, could it be overdosing of ChemiClean that brings on the dinos?

I think it depends. I allowed the cyano to spread to a point where it smothered just about everything. With it dying so rapidly and releasing organics back into the water created the perfect environment for dino's. The good news is i believe my solution is effective. I'm seeing noticeable improvements as of this morning with my tank. This is what ive done thus far:

1. Removed and replaced 40 gallons of water with Natural Sea Water (305 Gallon total system volume)
2. Dosed 61ML of Microbater7
3. Dosed 60ML of Phyto every few days.

I honestly believe the dino's would go away anyway....the big die off of cyano created the imbalance that allow the dino's to come around. What is immediately noticeable are the toxins, my anemones are not happy...they do appear to improve when I change out the carbon in the tank.
