Default Chemi Clean

Hello Chin,
It works great at getting rid of Red Slime algae. It's reef safe and treats 300 gallons for a very reasonable price. I used it for years when I did aquarium maintenance.

One thing to mention.
If you don't get rid of the original source/cause of the Algae problem, it will eventually comes back.

How long before you would have to use it again?
In other words....how soon would it start to come back?

Thanx much and cheers,

Yes....

Its good for getting rid of that bad stuff but you are not getting rid of the source and/or the cause of it. It is hard to say when it will return (if ever) I have had streaches as long as 8-10 months before redosing. Think of it like this........

It will give you a little break until you can get rid of the cause.

I used it, and the problem never returned. In my experience Cyano is a problem that occurs more commonly in newer tanks. It seems that whatever it lives on goes away in time. Some people insist that it is phosphates that cause the problem, but there is really no supportable evidence of that.

I used to use it all the time in my 20gal. Then I went to my 50gal BB and have never had it again. I believe mine was caused by a staturated sandbed.

Default works great

That stuff works great. The only thing is it says leave it for 2 days but for me some times it takes 3 days to realy see it start to work. So don't give up when day 2 comes around.

Cheers

I've been battling cyano since February. I must have done 4 treatments with this stuff since then. The last treatment was just last week. I did 3 doses this time, instead of the recommended 2, and used 20 spoons worth for each dose (180g tank with 33g sump. Probably about 160g net, i figure). Last dose was Saturday. 20% water change, fresh carbon back online and skimmer (for what that POS is worth) back online on Monday. Today!......only 5 days later!!....there I see a new patch about the size of a looney on the sand bed!!!! Sheesh. I realize this stuff is not an end all cure but sheesh!!! 5 lousy days?!!! I am getting sooooo sick and tired of this. Can't wait to move and get an RO/DI system going.....and a better skimmer. Hopefully the move won't make it too much of a new tank, yet again.
Anyway, I'm not impressed with this Chemi Clean crap. It gets rid of it, but not for long, IME.

Cheers,
