cheminclean don't do a thing to the pod population. It does not do a thing to anything else but cyano.
I used it from time to time to make my water crystal clear. It just make your skimmer go nuts so be carefull with this and sometime you have to remove the skimmer cup and let it run like that just to keep the water oxygenated.
It is not good to stop the skimmer if you don't have to so removing the cup often is enough to be able to still run it.
If you have that much problem with cyano, I don't beleive that you have 0 nitrates and phosphates....pretty much doubtfull.
Use the Redsea nitrates and phosphates test kit and see the result...you probably have a lot more than you think.
the cyano don't stick on healty coral. If it stick on your birdnest it is because the flesh on it is already dead and gone, maybe from something out of wack with your parameters? could be copper if you keep loosing your crabs?

I feed once a day either pellets or half cube of mysis.
