Which cyano treatment did you use?
I'm battling it myself and nothing is working.
Did you do anything other than put the med in?

I used 2 items. Spot dosing nilocg bga tester I got for free as test product a long time ago. It works great but I got lazy with spot dosing.
The 2nd product I used is blue vet green cyano rx. Directions say to water change 25% and redose but I recommend skipping water change and redose after a few days to let the medicine kick in.

Thanks. I've been using the Blue-Green Slime remover, but it doesn't touch it.
I have tons of flow. I've added an air stone at night. I was spot removing it and staying ahead, but it went crazy while I was on vacation. I've seen people say low nitrates can cause it, but mine are around 15. So that should be OK.

When it’s really stubborn, I’ve had best results with erythromycin.

Yeah, I tried that in the past and it didn't work, but I'm now thinking it was longer ago than I think. Maybe years. I'll try again.
Emycin used to be cheap years ago. I know. I'm old, but damn the price has gone up.
