After watching the BRS video yesterday this should not be an issue.
Dont overdose it. Possible to see negative side effects.
vibrant works.
however, after my vibrant treatment, i was greeted by a massive cyano outbreak.
others have reported the same. so be prepared to deal with that

Good to know - thanks! Did you dose once, a few times, or regularly for a while? TIA.
I dosed per the bottle recommendations and eventually got cyano 2 months or so in and I have not experienced that prior for years. it did help the bubble algae though.From what I understand from watching the BRStv video, if you dose more then recommend trying to get results fast, then you could risk the algae you are killing releasing contaminants back into tour water column. That is most likely where these cases of cyanobacteria and stuff are actually coming from. Just my understanding is all.
That isn't good. I am interested in seeing the results that BRS has after they investigate it. They make so much stuff to "fix" issues in our tanks, make me think there has to be a simpler method lolI dosed per the bottle recommendations and eventually got cyano 2 months or so in and I have not experienced that prior for years. it did help the bubble algae though.
If you haven't actually 'dealt' with cyano and opted to use a bandaid like chemiclean, don't be surprised when it makes a comeback when all the other algae it was competing with has died off. I didn't get ANY in my experience with Vibrant but that's because I was patient and dealt with the cyano properly the first time it reared it's ugly head.
And I would assume (could be wrong) that those were mostly still relatively young tanks (under a year and a half to two years old). Rest of my statement still holds true. Cyano will be present is in all systems, at one point or another (or always), whether you've seen it yet or not. It's a basic part of marine and freshwater ecology. Once its preexisting competition is removed, it will thrive unless/until you put more favorable competition in place.some people never had cyano in their tanks, or had to deal with it until they used vibrant.
i don't think anyone suggested chemiclean.
