I was skeptical about using a product like Chemiclean in my saltwater aquarium to deal with a red slime problem, but all other solutions including reduced lighting, increased flow and massive water changes had failed. It's performance was astounding, to say the least.
I followed the instructions precisely and underdosed the tank to be safe. I first siphoned as much of the red slime out as possible, increased water flow and aeration as directed, and removed carbon from my filter.
Within 48 hours, 80% of the red slime algae/cyanobacteria was gone, and the remainder cleared within another two days. My fish and inverts actually became more active and appeared healthier. As an added bonus, the oxidizing action of the Chemiclean cleaned up a good deal of organic solids, reduced regular green algae and made the water the clearest I have ever seen in any of my aquariums.
I am duly impressed and would recommend this product with careful usage.Work's as advertised gone in 3 days! No problem with tank life, if you have a skimmer you will need to run activated carbon and turn the skimmer down for a day or two.if your aquarium is full of red algae, this is what you need. I loved it, worked fast and now it looks absolutely outstanding!! Get product, excellent shipping!Destroyed the red slime in my tank and left it looking perfect! Easy to use and didn't harm anything else in my tankI was very skeptical, but this stuff worked. It took a little longer than I think it is advertised, but the cyno is gone, so I don't care. No corals in my tank, but it didn't harm the fish or inverts.
