Re the cyano, had the problem a few years ago. Used Chemiclean once to get rid of it (and it definitely worked). But as others have said, get your parameters in line esp phosphates and nitrates. Then I also used MB7 which out competes the cyano bacteria. Have never had a problem since. I did have it start to reappear a couple times, but then just upped the dose of MB7 for a couple weeks and it disappeared.

I've come to appreciate the KZ products because they are very concentrated and actually cheaper in the long run (although up front costs are higher). Most other products like Brightwell etc. are so dilute you dose so much more and end up buying more over 6 months etc.
