alright sounds good, thank you. and in response to your other comment i for sure want to find the source and solve that, beyond NO3 and PO4 is there anything else i should be testing for to help find the problem?
Those are the main two. There is some info out there which suggests certain ratios of those two grows cyano.

That was false info. The only way it has a chance is for the bacteria to settle on the rocks. Look up those instructions I linked last time.
@sadrobotz
Here you go, scroll down to where it says "Cyano Solution"


Chemiclean will probably work, but like @billyocean said, you need to know the root. Otherwise it will just come back. Knowing your NO3 and PO4 is key.
I recommend the Hanna Checkers for both
High Range for Nitrate
Ultra Low Range for Phosphate

One more thing the guy who wrote that uses ZeoBak or MicroBacter 7
I think lately, it has been zeoBak

will do, thanks buddy, really appreciate it
Cyano is in every tank but there's a formula that allows it to take over. Too many aminos, super low nutrients or zero (which can cause dinos....then cyano...blah blah), low flow in tank, killing off the good micro fauna......there's a bunch of reasons and or combos

If you do in tank treatment, also daily water change?
No, the daily water change is because I have no biological export of any waste.

If you're treating the display tank you don't have to worry about a water change until the end of the treatment. Or if you NO3 or PO4 get high.

The Sebae is in a tank I'm treating at 2x the BJD/tissue necrosis dosage. Excuse the dirty glass. I'll do a water change at the end of the week.
