i dont have a single patch of hair algae or any other kind of algae in my tank

perhaps you have no algae because the cyano from hell is consuming all the nutrients that arent being exported......the solution to pollution is dilution and no W/Cs = no dilution.....

If orp drops below 350 I'm turning the skimmer back on.

It's at 391 now. Usually hangs around 400-420

My tank is 4 months old, had no other algae problems except had a bad case of cyano. Its a 10g nano and cyano was covering everything. Here's how I got rid of it; weekly 2.5g water changes and sucked up as much of it as I could. The water changes worked and its all gone.
