cwatkins, Be careful I am at the 3 week mark with Bio pellets and my PO4 is starting to climb up. Started with .05 3 weeks ago now I am at .11 (Hanna). I am running a small amount of GFO to help bring it back down.

+1 I had the same problem, ended up running GFO concurrently with the pellets because they weren't keeping the phosphates low enough. I ended up giving up on the pellets altogether.

Back to the thread topic, I ended up using chemi-clean as well, worked like a charm. Wasn't overly enthusiastic about the skimmer overflowing for days on end though but it got the job done.

Chemi-Clean works great. After using it and eradicating the Cyano I find if I use very small doses of it once in a while it keeps it away without the hassle of oveflowing skimmers and large water changes via the full dose.
