It's not specifically made for getting rid of Cyano, but it does as a side effect.
Nothing in my tank was adversely affected. The only thing is that you have to turn off your skimmer for a few days, because it will overflow within minutes if you dont. After a few days, when the cyano has noticeably disappeared, you have to start doing some water changes to get rid of the chemicals.
Of course this doesnt get rid of the root cause of the cyano, but it got rid of the existing cyano quickly, so that my efforts to reduce the nitrates were more effective in preventing it to start up again. It actually got rid of my green hair algae too. Neither has started up again <fingers crossed>.
