Dude, your not reading the thread, I did daily 10% water changes for a month while I was battling the cyano, it didn't help, I did 4 20% water changes after the chemiclean to get my skimmer to not overflow.

I thought I was clear in my last post guess not...

You won with chemiclean yes...

But did 80 gallons of water changes to get your skimmer to calm down yes...

Do you think that the fact that the cyano did not come back, after removing the chemiclean was because maybe you adjusted your water chemistry with that big of a water change?

he did this before chemiclean "I did daily 10% water changes for a month while I was battling the cyano"

10 percent per day for 30 days is more than 20 percent per day for 4 days
