Posting this here because it pertains to dealing with cyano (wanting to avoid chemiclean). My LFS has bottles of Fritz Zyme 7 and 9, but wondering if it's similar to Microbacter 7. I'll be adding the bacteria to DIY coral snow to help get rid of cyano that's forming mats in a few places in my tank (3 years running).
 
I tried both. And also TM cyo-control. None of it worked. I did chemiclean and cyano was gone completely within 48 hours. I have had no other problems. No dino’s. My corals never seemed bothered. It’s an sps dominant tank. My Alk consumption dropped just a bit for about 4 days but is back to normal.

Bacteria in a bottle remains useless in my eyes. At best it is food for other bacteria. At worst it delays the natural progression to maturity,

Exactly why I'm also wanting to avoid Chemiclean. It contains erythromycin which is a broad-spectrum antibiotic....I don't want to risk throwing the biome off.
