Need advice on bio bacteria in 3 month tank

[Bigreeflittlefish]

Hey guys need some help on picking the best bacteria to dose my tank with currently my tank is roughly 3-4 months old and I’m been fighting cyano, it’s not the worst cyano but it’s not going away and already took out some coral.
I’ve reduced my lighted to only blues and 40% power

I’m looking to dose some good bacteria and not sure what’s the best route I’ll also probably hit it chemclean soon too
Was thinking microbact 7
Help me out peeps

I have been using micro bac7 but I really think you need to tell us your water chemistry numbers as that may be more helpful than just dosing bacteria .

Check out @SunnyX thread on extreme water clarity and cyano removal.

What does your cleanup crew look like?

Cyanoclean contains a bacterial species that is meant to work directly to help with Cyano. I’ve used it in two of my tanks very successfully.

I would raise the nitrates. It is possible that low nitrates allows cyanobacteria to outcompete other microbes.

Clean up crew isn’t very good honestly maybe 40 narassius long spike urchin mix snail maybe 30?
200 gallon tank so it’s weak cleanup will be increasing that soon

What worked for me with cyano:

1. Vacuum out as much as you can, and keep it vacuumed out.
2. Increase flow on the affected areas so that it can't settle.
3. Get CUC members that eat the tiny bits that are left and that start to grow back.
