Steve, I am sure you would not say Evan has poor circulation, but as I am sure you noticed he has plenty of cyano. Also some time ago the experts on AquariaCentral claimed exactly opposite to what you said. They blamed too much circulation. As I said, I am sure there are plenty of opinions on causes, but in reality I think we are all guessing. I don't claim to have any answers except for the Chemiclean. It works without any bad effects ESPECIALLY in a small tank.. I would never recommend it for a large tank, as it would not be cost effective.
