Cyano suggestions

[Reef Pilot]

I have had almost every scourge you can think of in my main display tank. Had very high nitrates, high P04, cyano, GHA, turf algae, ditritus, aiptaisai, etc, etc. I inherited this tank about 2 1/2 years ago, when we moved into this house. It took the better part of the first 1 1/2 years to get it back under control, while learning about SW and reef keeping.

I am now happy to say, tank is looking very clean with zero P04 and nitrates, and am now starting to grow SPS. And no more aiptasia (at least haven't seen one for a long time). I have to give a lot of credit to the use of bio pellets and MB7. And to my Pearlescales for ridding my tank of aiptasia (used to have 100's, maybe thousands of those ugly buggers, even my back glass was covered with them).

Now if I could just get rid of those scratches on my acrylic tank panes...

+1 on the chemiclean. i just used it less than a month ago and my tank is still cyano free. first time in 9 months or more. I have a 75g display with a 20g sump. i underdosed the tank to be on the safe side and dosed for 60g of water volume. some of the corals didnt like it but after 3-4 days, everything was back to normal (following WC and skimmer instructions of course). its a great product!

Thanks everyone! I'll head out tomorrow and pick some up. I appreciate the help.

When i had my Cyano battle i use Vodka dosing and mechanical filtration changed daily. I had to lightly brush the cyano off the rockand corals so that the filter could pick it up and do its thing. The Vodka dosing took some time as you have to go slow and find the right amount but once gone it was gone. Dose not sound as keep as the product mentiond above in th earlier posts.
