You should have seen it a month ago. Really bad cyano! The corals looked bad for a month previous to the outbreak. I tried everything. The answer for me for the time being has been prodibio bio clean. It works a lot like vodka dosing and bacteria dosing.
not as expensive as people thing. IMHO it's safer than vodka too. I think my real root problem is that I started the tank with almost entirely "dry rock". It is making it take forever to really establish. I'd like to get some good Figi rock for the some time soon. I think that will help a lot.

I don't know everything but here is what I did. I don't run any carbon. I have a little GFo on line, 1/4 the recommended amount, and left my skimmer on the entire time. I think having a quality skimmer is very important with this. The BioClean is very similar to vodka dosing. You should not need GFO with it and skimming is a very important part of the process. Again, this is all my just IMHO. If you wanna talk feel free to call me. 970.396.1145
I just want to add: the product directions I found stress that it can lower the oxygen levels of the aquarium. It states that you need very good water movement or to add an air stone if your water movement is insufficient. This is true of all products of this type. I just left my skimmer on and have a lot of water movement. Again, the skimming is part of how the product works IMO.

Thanks for sharing. I agree with having the skimmer on if it's anything like vodka dosing because you'd want to pull as much waste as possible. Someone mentioned that they turn it off for only half hour right after dosing BioClean. I did not see that in the product directions and honestly I don't see a point in that. I think I'll give this product a shot. Really want to stay away from dropping ChemiClean in as it only solve the cyano problem temporarily and does not lower the phosphates.
