Give the MB7 time to work before adding vodka or other carbon sources. I dosed MB7 heavily first couple weeks, then only about once a week there after. The beneficial bacteria needs to be well established, before gradually adding carbon, or you will have even more cyano. But once the MB7 and beneficial bacteria are established, the carbon (I use bio pellets) will do the job. I have not seen cyana since.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
