Just a suggestion - do one thing at a time - don't start water changes and siphoning and then adding chemicals. Do one or the other - then you will know what helped to workI have done a water change and saturday I will start dosing red x. if that didnt help I will start with chemiclean. I have got chemiclean in hand but want to get to it in the last.
It is going to be 5 days after water changes and the red x application might take around a month until I decide to move to the next step, hopefully with red x there will not be a need for chemiclean. Although before water changes everything was covered in cyano i mean rocks by everything luckily with the water change the kh have lowered a bit and corals reacted very well that they extended a mm moreJust a suggestion - do one thing at a time - don't start water changes and siphoning and then adding chemicals.

Siphon and do a 1-2 day blackout and switch to ChemiClean. Uts the industry leading cyano destroyer for a reasonToday I dosed 4th Red X two more days and waiting will start however looking at the tank and the increased amount of Cyanobacteria I dont see a bright light at the end
Agree with the siphon - not sure about the blackout - double plus on the chemiclean - make sure you've removed all things that remove 'red x' and 'chemiclean' from your tank. If you havent - it won't work. PS - there is no problem with a blackout - just my experience with chemiclean - its not necessary - and may slow down killing (i.e. in the dark - the cyano is not growing as well - and if its not growing as well - it won't be killed as quickly/well)Siphon and do a 1-2 day blackout and switch to ChemiClean.

This is correct. I had dinos very bad. The last thing you want to do is to reduce nutrients and perform water changes with dinos, there is a dino thread with great info. Very active thread. Also if you know you have dinos get a microscope and post in the dino thread so someone can tell you what type of dinos and inform you how to treat it. The link for the dino thread is below:High nutrients won’t create cyano and/or dinos. They thrive in low nutrient conditions. Perhaps your testing is off. Also, if you actually are having this problem, by underfeeding, you are helping them thrive.
After you get everything "stable". Work from there. Chemicals make things "unstable"
