Cynoclean/coralsnow is it just a snake oil?

Think of using cynoclean and coralsnow for maintenance against cyno bacteria. Is this a waste of money?

never heard of it, you could use kent marine marine snow to feed your microfauna to eat the cyano

To a degree, yes. There are ways to combat cyano such as reduction of phosphate, reduction of white light intensity, skimming, etc
For some, they choose to add a powder or liquid and wait for the miracle to occur
I find them to be alternatives, not solutions

we can't decide here.

but work threads will decide, instantly


so, post a work thread where 3 or more cyano reef tanks were fixed with those dosers. chemi clean has such examples, x1000, so that's an example of a claimant being backed in work threads.


also strong for fixing cyano, and found in hundreds of work threads: cleaning the tank correctly.


if you can't find examples of those dosers fixing tanks in a work thread, which is 3 or more of other's reefs showing the fix not just 1 tank (the author of the thread) then don't use them.

When you say maintenance, you mean you have none and are trying to prevent it?

Have small patches want to keep under control

Keeping organics low and flow high are reasonable approaches to reducing cyano, and if the coral snow or added bacteria help reduce organics then they may be helpful.
