This is such a fantastic and easy to use product. I have a horrible red slime outbreak that I could just not control. I follow the directions but ad only about 3/4 what they suggest and my red slime is gone in 48 hours. Large water change and your tank will look fantastic. I have a very diverse reef and none of my corals are ever negatively effected when I use this as long as I don't go over 48 hours, do a large water change, and run carbon.

Destroyed the red slime in my tank and left it looking perfect! Easy to use and didn't harm anything else in my tank

Started to get an outbreak of cyanobacteria in my tank. Mixed in the recommended dosage into a new batch of water for a water change. I brushed the growth off of my LR and got as much as possible out with the syphon. Added the clean water with the chemi-clean and haven't had any problems with cyano since, and I run my lights aboout 14 hours a day.

I 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.

Nothing kills cyanobacteria like Chemi-Clean. It works every time, period. It recommends doing a 10 or 15% water change, but I don't worry about it.

I've been plagued by red slime algae almost from the start in my Penn-plax 58 gallon saltwater marine tank. I had tried beating it with Phoszorb (my aquarist at the LFS said the high-phosphorous content in Florida water was the culprit), but only enjoyed slight improvement. Leaving the lights off for weeks at a time would clear it up but it always came back in a few days. This time I tried Chemi-Clean, although I had great fear of adding a chemical to the aquarium environment. On day one I took the carbon out of my canister filter, added the recommended dosage and waited. 48 hours later I did a water change and added back carbon to the filter. By then it was clear that the red algae was disappearing. Now on day four it is all gone! Water stayed brilliantly clear and the fish, starfish, snails, shrimp and anemome were completely unaffected. I am now a convinced...if it stays gone until next water change I'll be a true believer! I'll repost if it comes back too soon.

At about the one year point I started getting a cyano outbreak in my nano. I tried lights out for three days, reduced feeding drastically, and performed more frequent water changes to no avail. I finally broke down and purchased chemi-clean. Worked like a charm. I was very careful to follow the directions and under dosed my tank just a little bit. Cyano was gone in a few days. It's come back once since and chemi-clean worked like a charm again. Just need to determine the root cause.

First let me comment on the person that lost all his fish and gave this product a 1 star - not sure what he did wrong - maybe put the whole bottle in or maybe he is one of those "leave negative comment" people that works for the competition or he had something MAJOR going on with his tank before he started treatment but rest assure - it will NOT kill your fish if followed directly. I've been doing fresh and saltwater for over 20 years now - my tank is a 300 gallon saltwater fish only. In the last 6 months i've been battling red slime algae - parameters are all in check - my final straw was 30% water (60 gal) every week for 5 weeks , cut my lights to 8 hrs / day , which really suck cause I never see my fish and finally cut to feeding every other day for a week (enough food to consume in less than 5 min.). My tank is far from overstocked - I have 18 fish (angles, tangs, butterfly, wrasses, damsels and a bunch of hermit crabs) - all under 4 inches and a 26" zebra eel also replaced my T5 light bulbs. Nothing worked and the slime keeps coming back. Finally researched what one of the best red slime removers were and this one came up many times. Before using I had about 65% slime coverage on my artificial coral -. Instead of a air stone as they recommend, I simply put my water return jet to skim the surface and had a power head behind it and it provided all the bubbles I needed. First dose took about 40 hrs to get rid of about 75% of the algae - did a 30% water change and added a second dose - another 40 hrs later it was literally all gone - did another 30% water change and now we'll see how long it stays away for - hopefully forever!! The product works like it should but it may require a second dose - ALL my fish are fine with no deaths not even the hermits - not even distressed during the treatment. I will probably dose once a month for the next few months just to keep the red slime in check. BTW - yes! turn OFF your protein skimmer - had mine off for the entire treatment - only to turn it back on after the second water change and it will foam like crazy - had to dial mine down about 3 notches from its normal position - so keep a eye on it for a few days afterwards.

I added this to the water just as directed. Took care of the problem within a couple of days and I have not had the problem since. I did not change out the water like it said on the box and my fish were unaffected.

This stuff works great. Cleaned up the red slime in a day. I use it once a month before I do my water change.

I had a bad outbreak of cyanobacteria including greenish brown film over my rocks and corals. As a last resort I tried ChemiClean. After 48 hours the red cyano on the sand had completely disappeared but the film on the rocks was still there. I started my skimmer but it went crazy so I shut it off for another two days. At that time the film on the rocks had disintegrated -- looked like wet tissue paper so I sucked out what was left.Corals look okay except for a clove that has not re-emerged. Maybe in time.

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.
