Growing and harvest a macroalga can help. It did for me.

The problem with Chemi-Clean and similar approaches is that the cyanobacteria often returns. Mine did.

It might not be cyanobacteria, but another round might kill it if it is.

Yes, I would, if the second round killed anything. Otherwise, the decaying organisms become food for more algae, etc. Chemi-Clean is an antibiotic, I think.
