Rather than go the chemical route I'd suggest the all natural approach. Worked wonders for my cyano and algae at the same time. Ensure you have sufficient CuC and start dosing live phyto daily. Couple weeks of phyto and everything cleared up.

how much do you dose to clear cyano, im dosing 200 ml a day on my 10g and it wont go away after almost 2 weeks of dosing. i have a few hermits and a bunch of nerite snails too.
