MB7 or Vibrant for cyano control?

[Difrano]

Before in my previous tank I used Chemiclean to treat Cyano, but today after watching the BRS episode about Cyano:


I am leaning towards the natural way before the chemical way, I have a bottle of vibrant and one of MB7 have you used them? Any success of failures?

Background:

I am starting the have cyano on my DT, it started at the sump and after coming back from a week of vacation it started to take hold on the Dt as you can see on this picture:

Those are my parameters:
Temp: 77.5 - 78.5 F. Apex
Salinity: Apex: 33
pH: 8.05 Day - 7.7 Night Apex
Alk: 7.6 Apex
Ca: 475 Apex
Mg: 1349 Apex
PO4: 0.09 Hanna
NO3: 2 Nyos

Tank is approaching 3 months mark, but used live rock from my old biocube. I was expecting the Cyano or Dino to show up at some point. I was battling low nutrients 0 NO3 and 0 PO4, until about a week ago, I have a refugium with fern caulerpa that was doing great until it melted due to ultra low nutrients, and then Cyano started showing up in the fuge, after that now it is starting to take over the DT.

Raise your nitrates. Cyano is often cause by either low flow or low nitrate since they get their nitrogen from the atmosphere. Eco balacnce could be handy. I would alsoconsider PNS probio once you raise nitrate

I am working on raising Nitrates, have been a hard task.

Try some neonitro from brightwell.


Also, you could try to remove as much as possible manually and then use chemiclean. This works really well for most people so long as you follow instructions

How much flow do you have in your tank?

Regarding Neo Nitro, I found it to be a bit too diluted for my taste. Go the cheaper option and buy the Potassium nitrate powder and mix a bottle yourself. You'll prob get higher concentrations that way

I have a MP40 and a MP10 on the sides of the tank, is a RSR 250, 65 Gal. I am running the MP10 from 20 to 100 and the MP40 from 20 to 60 based on a schedule. I think there could be a dead spot there but is growing on size.
I am doing manual removal at the moment.

Vibrant does not fight cyano, if anything, it makes it worse. Chemiclean is your go-to

I tried vibrant and it worked great on everything and then I ended up with cyano. I tried to stay with it to see if it would eventually get rid of it but it got too ugly for me so I used chemiclean in the end. Prior to the chemiclean use I brought both nitrate and phosphates back up and stable for a few weeks first. So far so good.

Did you have issues after using chemiclean in the past ? If no, then why change based on a video ?
