Checking to see if anyone has experience using Chemiclean while using Vibrant Reef? Have a bad outbreak of turf algae no clean-up crew can contend with. I started dosing with Vibrant 5 weeks ago. Yes, the turf algae is beginning to recede. However, as some reviewers note, I now have a bad cyano outbreak (the kind that partially dissipates overnight and comes back strong under LEDs). I’ve successfully used Chemiclean in another tank but a bit concerned about treating this tank with Chemiclean while also doing Vibrant. It’s a mixed 200g with softies, sps and 6 social fish. Thanks everyone.
 
I had the same issue where I was dosing Vibrant in order to get rid of green algae. However, I had spirulina show up after a couple doses. I originally thought it was cyanobacteria but then I conducted the H2O2 test to make the determination. I then added one dose of Chemiclean to my tank and waited the two days. Conducted the recommended water change. Now the only algae I have growing is coralline and film algae.
