Chemi-Clean

ok so i've dosed Chemi-Clean twice now and have done 20% water changes after each dose and waited the 24hours after dosing to turn on the skimmer and while i wasn't running a skimmer i waws hooking up my new Aqua C skimmer and i just turned it on and it's foaming like crazy so i know this is normal with any skimmer after running Chemi-Clean but i've done the 20% water changes so will it stop foaming on it's own or should i do another water change?

BTW Chemi-Clean...Great product! No more Cyano and no inverts or fish hurt in the process.

Re: Chemi-Clean

Perhaps the decaying cyano and other stuff is too much for the skimmer. Question is: are your water parms okay? If not do another water change out.

Cyano is a red bacteria that will grow over almost anything and looks and feals like some sort of algea.

nitrate around 5 when i tested last week, i've been fighting phosphates for a bit now but this is pure white foam. it would fill the cup in about 30 secs with water.

Re: Chemi-Clean
