anyone had use prodibio to reduce cyano?

[nanomarine]

I've been working hard to get the cyano off the sandbed. I was removing the top layer at each wc, but eventually new sand has be replenished starting another cycle. Now I stop replacing the sand and look for another way.

So far its mildlysuccessful by adding 5 nassarius snails, diamond goby and a sand starfish.

Just wondering if anyone had experience with the bioclean from prodibio and comment on their effectiveness on eliminating the red-brown stuff on the sandbed.

My objective is to avoid adding chemical and hoprfully find a bio solution. This product seems like it can do the job.

Comments and other suggestions?

Do the 3 days Lights out trick.

Completely cover your tank so no light can get in. Turn all lights off for 3 days.

Your fish/corals/inverts will all be fine

Did the cyano come back after the lights are back on ?

Coral snow from zeovit will solve the problem just double dose it a few days it kills it and then just scrub it off and vacum the sand

If the Cyano is localised to the sandbed it might point towards the bed itself being an issue. If it's possible for you, had you considered changing it out for a new one?
Unconventionally, dextrose works.

I started BioDigest and Bioptim six months ago, algea issues disappeared, N and P are nearly undectable. I would stess having a good skimmer is essential to remove the multiplying bacteria, my skimmate production trippled with starting Prodibio. Also give it time, nothing will change for the first month.
