Oh yeah! Well what about my 300 gallon system?!?! Sorry just had to one-up you guys...

Your skimmer will be out of commission for a few days to a couple weeks. Keep up with water changes in the mean time.

Re: Chemi-Clean

I usually do one decent water change, then set my skimmer real dry, I let it skim out the chemi clean, it pull alot even set to dry, but it is better than alot of water changes, or just let the tank run for a few days without skimming.

Re: Chemi-Clean

Thanks ironman, thats kinda what I've been doing. When im home and can watch the skimmer i let it run and the cup has a drain that drains into a 5g bucket so i don't have to empty the cup every 2 minutes.
