a chemiclean treatment every few months if needed won't be the end of the world i'm thinking. the tank gets some serious water change love as a result. tank looks happier than it's looked since setup as far as my sticks go.

According to the box, chemi-clean also oxidizes sludge, which might actually help keep your tank from building up the conditions that lead to cyano.

Just don't get lazy with your nutrient management regime. I've been super lazy with my GFO since the beginning of April and as soon as chemi-clean wiped out the cyano... BAM! dino outbreak that was like 6 times worse than the cyano. I just finally got around to testing phosphate last night: 0.04ppm. Oops.
