If you've never done this, you may find that the media needs replacement. If this is the case, put the media back in and make sure you have new stuff for your next water change.

Hopefully, others with Fluval experience will chime in here with REAL cleaning advice

So would you even bother using the eurithromyacin right now, or try all of the other things instead, or both?

Jason, the cyano isn't really doing anything bad, so using chemicals to remove it quickly isn't a good idea. Make the source go away, and the cyano will go away. It just takes time.

Ok, sounds good. Thanks guys.

The fluval will contribute to nitrates, get rid of it.

What about using it to run the phosphate sponge? If anything it should add extra flow right?

That would be fine, as long as the media wasn't left in long enough to culture a biological population. Ad yes, it would add flow, but there are much better devices for adding flow.
