Skimmer and cyano treatment

[Northernseacorals]

Defiantly run some fresh carbon to help pull it out, I usually do :-)

There is only 1 way to get it out completely:

Let the skimmer overflow until it stops.

So have it drain into a bucket or empty the cup every 30 seconds

I did 50 gal water changes every couple days and let skimmer overflow like Marko said

Do you have a phosphate issue. I find that's when I get cyano

How has your system as a whole reacted to the Chemi-Clean?

I've purchased some, but I'm a little afraid to use it.

It's fine. I used it with clams and coral. No negative affect

No issues. Cyano is gone, I also turned the lights off for 3 days, corals, fish and inverts all fine. Mine was really bad on my rocks and was starting to cover corals. I also changed around my rock scaping and flow.

I haven't rechecked my phospates, but overall I don't see any sign of it returning and there are no other algae issues that I can see.

My skimmer has a plug in the cup so I do let it drain back into the sump. I will do a few more wc, change carbon and then let skimmer run.

Draining it back into the sump won't do anything. You need to remove the water that overflows. That's where the highest concentration of chemiclean is
