I dosed 1 dose of vibrant last week on Wednesday to combat a cyano outbreak I have, only to find out it probably only made it worse. Decided to not dose anymore of that and just get my nutrients under control with weekly water changes. I'm doing a 10% change today and ill be getting a cutting of Red Grape macro on Friday. Think the 1 dose of vibrant from last week will hurt it or should I be okay after that water change today?
 
Vibrant rarely works on cyano and rather destroys algae’s including macro algae
For cyano, vacuum as much as you can, turn off white lights 5-7 days and during the day dose 1ml of liquid bacteria per 10 gallons and at night, 1.5ml of hydrogen peroxide per 10 gallons . Day5-7 will be clear. The following 2 weeks, .5 ml per 10 gallons of peroxide as a safety that all is gone

So just run pure blues for a while? Should I increase the blue intensity (currently at 70,% at peak) a bit since I'm removing the whites(currently at 30-50% depending on the time of day).

And you recommend doing all of that over chemiclean?
For the bacteria, Bacter7?

As for the macro, will last weeks dose hurt it?

No- the lower the light, the sooner you will win battle. Chemiclean is an alternative, not a solution to bacteria although it works
Bacter 7 yes is good and n
Macro may or may not hold together
Macro is somewhat tough

Its a Red Grape, supposedly easy, it was a cheap buy if it fails.

Okay I'll have the bacteria tomorrow and I'll reduce the whites today and start the peroxide.

Thanks!
