Do you guys run the air stone like it recommends or just rely on the skimmer?

Just skimmer. If you have a heavy fish load with large fish that might be affected, an air stone can't hurt.

I struggled with Cyano almost constantly until I stopped using "regular" gfo. Are you using GFO?

But +1 to chemiclean. The stuff works wonders.
