if it did get rid of it, then it has worked. I don't believe it claims to free your tank of cyano forever - does it?
If your tank's parameters continue to be a suitable environment for cyano, its inevitable that it will return.

It would seem that you are aware that an RO/DI unit and a better skimmer may improve your tank's parameters however your inability to improve it presently should not be a factor in which we should "get rid" of this product.

Last dose was Saturday. 20% water change, fresh carbon back online and skimmer (for what that POS is worth) back online on Monday. Today!......only 5 days later!!....there I see a new patch about the size of a looney on the sand bed!!!! Sheesh. I realize this stuff is not an end all cure but sheesh!!! 5 lousy days?!!! I am getting sooooo sick and tired of this. Can't wait to move and get an RO/DI system going.....and a better skimmer. Hopefully the move won't make it too much of a new tank, yet again.
Anyway, I'm not impressed with this Chemi Clean crap. It gets rid of it, but not for long, IME.
