Chemiclean not working?

Yup, I have mentioned the use of MB7 many times here on this forum. Yet, I keep reading about cyano outbreaks,... completely unnecessary.

I think it's been about 2 years since the last time I had to use Chemiclean (and it does work). I dose MB7 regularly, and rarely see any signs of cyano. When I do, it is usually when I let the MB7 dosing lapse a bit. All I do then is increase the dosage again for a while, turkey baste any signs of cyano, and I am good again. But it never gets out of hand with me anymore.

The way MB7 works is, it supplies beneficial bacteria that out competes cyano. It also helps get rid of mulm and other detritus in your tank, making it look a lot cleaner over all. Keeps the water crystal clear, too.
