I've read a lot on them and they used to be the standard from what I read. Just have fallen out of favour recently for newer methods. I have never...

You can do a blackout (no lights and wrap tank to keep sunlight out) for 3 days to get rid of cyano, but unless you address the high nitrates it will...
