chemi-cleen nuked several of my corals, I will not use it.

good tank maintenance and regular water changes...and regulate feeding. Cyano will clear up.

Water change will help... use our search feature for chemi-clean. I had some issues with cyano and received some really good advice. Would link you to it... but I'm still "forum" challeged! The short of it... didn't use.

What animals are you feeding?
How frequently do you feed?

Based on your numbers, it looks like you may be overfeeding, or you have detritus collecting somewhere.
