heard some people crash their tank using chemi-clean. you can get some sand sifter to get rid of the cyano on sand, and turkey baster to blow them off the rock.

They will eventually go away when you get your nutrient down.

and you don't really need to start vodka pior to pellets. just start with 1/2 of require amount, and add more slowly. Usually microbacter7 from brightwell or similar products should also help in terms of adding more diversity of nitrifying bacteria.
