This tank is just over two months old, and it’s going through a cyano phase. I’m content to let it mature without additives, but am a little concerned about toxins, and with that thought I bought some chemiclean. I currently blow it off the rocks & vacuum every few days; this is pre-vacuum. Thoughts?

Ipinion:
You dosed chemi-clean (not yet): Erythromycin prevents growth of bacteria at low concentrations and kills them outright at higher ones by blocking transfer RNA from attaching to the ribosome.
Its possible the tank will not have any bacteria that will compete with the strain of cyano you have, and it might come back even stronger
