OK. might be an interesting experiment once the cyano is gone to do everything the same and just don't rinse the mysis and see what happens.
OK that sounds like a great experiment. When are we going to do that in "your" tank

It is easy to eliminate it but I lost a large blue sponge that I spent a couple of years growing. Sponges are the only thing so far I can tell dies with Chemi Clean.
All my cyano is gone.

I don't have a problem growing more cyano if it would prove something but what would it prove?
I didn't check the nitrates before or after and I am not sure if nitrates have much to do with cyano. In my experience DOC does grow it quite nicely and in some tanks such as mine it seems to always be on the edge of growing and a little DOC or shrimp juice just tips it over the edge and cyano grows.
