Arent you the guy that is against water changes?

If so, physically remove with a syphon, clean your top layer of gravel, every day for 3 days, and I bet that will fix your problem.

Start changing your water more often if youre not. I believe, if this is the same person, this is the second time you have had issues that may be solved by water changes.

Just do it, you won't regret it.

25yrs. reefing......dozens of tanks both with and without sand. My experience, ONLY, if I had sandbed I had cyno....if I run bare or starboard, no cyno. Period. Nothing in between.
and yes I know lots have sand and no cyno but thats it in a nutshell for me.

yeah sand is most likely the cause of many problems. but i just dont like the look of bare bottom. so i went with about an inch of sand.

i think the risk of sand is worth it

+1 on the sand, I just can't bare the site of a tank without it.

You're obnoxious... Good luck with your problem. I was more so inquiring if you did regular water changes or just did a little one for the first time in a couple years due to the cyano.

Do you have your skimmer running with the cup off? I've heard of many people doing this while running chemiclean. Either that or some form of air stone.

When I used the chemiclean in my tank, it took a day or two.
