nah. sticks will be fine.
you need a skimmer though.
ALTHOUGH!!!!!
i did treat my tank with it and did a 150 gallon wc after the application and no harm befell me.
a skimmer would have made it easier though.

What causes this type to show itself ?
you skimming all the phyto that would have eaten it first

disclaimer: this is just an observation and isnt a nail in skimmertech's coffin. i could have completely made it up much like acropower making your sticks instant rainbows.

So you are saying if my skimmer was not on this would not be happening
lotta life you are grabbing imo.
i will say this.
my cyano and ugly crap stuff went away when i did away with my skimmer.
maybe other bacteria ate what was wrong. idk. could be purely anecdotal.

Send me some and if it confirmed cyanobacteria than my h2o2 treatment will take it out
OR if you have access to a scope (2500x power) send me some pictures.

In their second Video on the 800G, Vivid Aquarium recommended Bakers Yeast. 1/4 tsp/400 G water/day for several days. I'm in Day 3 and I am starting to see improvements. They said they use it in all tanks now.

It will be hard for me to send you some my work hrs are crazy but I will try. Not really the chem guy so if I do buy a scope I will have to learn from the beginning
i have dinos. some algae.
i didnt get cyano until i started dosing peroxide.
i know. completely against the grain. but peroxide isnt killing it. i have some sort of imbalance dosing h202.
otherwise i let mothernature do all the hard work.
