Something to get rid of cyano?
Can someone suggest a product that will help rid my tank of cyano? I've read of something called red slime remover and chemi-clean. Do these products work? Are they reef/invert safe? I have done what I can with adjusting flow and lighting but I fear it will not be enough.
Any info would be great

Seems like a better, less invasive solution must be available. All the commercial products I've reviewed for the eradication of cynobacteria come with a list of warnings and cautions. That would scare me a bit!
Perhaps doing what you can do reduce your nitrate and ammonia levels (what are they?) would be a first step. As well, reduce the amounts of nutrient content in your water. Feed less?

I just got over a Cyano outbreak. I did not want to use any chemicals, so I did %20 water changes twice in a week, and dropped the feeding by half. Man, those fish are HUNGRY, but I'm slowly increasing feeding now that the Cyano is pretty well gone. I aslo used a Turkey Baster to blast the stuff out of low flow areas. Took about a week and a half to get rid of it.

I think Chemi-Clean is the best solution for cyano(besides maitaining your tank correctly). Use as directed and follow the instuctions to the tee. DO NOT OVERDOSE. Be sure to account for volume of rock,sand tubing etc. Make sure to have at least 20% water made up prior to dosing. Works great if used correctly!!
