There’s a gigantic vibrant thread here. It’s a long read but that’s what it’s there for.
First hand user experience. Data.
My observation of tanks with really no algae but they used anyway was cyano in many cases. Sometimes not. Some thatvhad massive algae got lots of Algae die off also had cyano. Rarely did not. But that’s a lot of alge dying so it’s expecred.
Some folks had some algae and it died and never got cyano. My observation was it’s rare.
Somthing in vibrant targets algae and kills it. Like nothing else on the market.
On the label there is a carbon source listed.
Between the two it means there’s a whole lot of food in the tank.
Invert , mostly snail, loss was noted.
You can review that finding in the thread
There were also hundreds of vibrant threads shortly after it was sold.
Going back into the start of this thread , what were you trying to get rid of this time?
My advice above is to kill off the algae you want, there will micro flora loss , be patient with the cyano and then replace the micro flora healthfully. There is a certain amount I think we need in a tank.
Or stop using it and kill whatever another way.
Both ways work.
