I started microbacter7 a few weeks into my battle, followed the ULN instructions, I thought that the daily 10% WC was stripping the bacteria from my system, after a week or so I started the biofuel as well, although it didn't make a dent in the cyano I am still dosing it as a preventative measure but at the stabalized dose, I've been cyano free for a month now ( I feel like a recovering addict ), be careful with the vodka as I understand it's like biofuel on steroids and can strip all nutrient from your system and cause a bacteria bloom.

I think you should be able to breathe a sigh of relief today, some fresh carbon and a few 20% wc should get your skimmer back to normal in a few days.
