Cyano

I'm having bit of and red alone cyano problem on my rocks. Does chemiclean work and is it reef safe?

Yes, Chemiclean works and is reef safe, just be sure to follow the directions exactly and do the 20% water change 48 hours later.

100% safe for everything as long as you follow the directions and add aeration.

Your skimmer will go nuts. Leave it on and remove the cup and let it overflow, it does help with the aeration. If you don't have a skimmer make sure to add a pump and air stone, Chemiclean depletes oxygen from the tank.

I used it over 2 weeks ago.

As already mentioned follow directions. I added a simple pump and air stone.

It took 48 hours, but once I cleaned up everything with a water change (as directed) I have not seen any cyano. I have a large clam, sps, lps, and anemones, no issues with any tank inhabitants.

Has anyone tried the microbacter7 approach with cyano?
