I have used the stuff before and it worked. This is only a temp solution though. You need to get your parameters in check first. Also I would guess you have phos in your tank even though your kit is not measuring it. Cyano is a bacteria so you need to find the cause otherwise it will return. I would recommend stepping up your water changes. Are you using di water also?

From my experience, cyano thrives when nitrates and phosphates are out of balance.
If you have zero phosphates and higher nitrates I'm not surprised that you have some cyano. Chemiclean does work but once completed, I would work on getting those nitrates down and also work on getting the phosphates up a little. A small amount of each is ideal.

I too have used chemiclean with success, but ya, it will come back if you don't address the underlying issue(s). Chemiclean is a quick fix. A very very good quick fix though.

I don't like using Chemiclean, I find when you turn your skimmer back on it goes nuts and seems to take forever to settle back down.
I would rather find the source of the problem instead of a temporary fix. 0 tds if possible RO water, rowaphos reactor and keeping the nitrates in check and more water changes seems to do the trick for me. A little more work but hey it's a hobby!
