FWIW, when I tried vinegar, awhile back, it got worse not better.
I'm beginning to think it is just old tank syndrome. A tank that has been set up a long time is bound to start having these issues. I'm sure there is another answer, just have not found it yet, no matter how much I read.

I've had the same experience and I started low dosing of MB7.Now a couple months later the cyano has cleared up,no more cyano.
