Chemi Clean?

[findingnemo1]

HI there.

We just picked up some red slime remover to help get rid of the cyano that does not want to go away. Now after reading the instructions i just want to make sure i have it right

So i turn off any skimmers and uv for the 48 hours and then another 24 on top of that? So 72 hours total right. And then make sure that i do the 20 percent water change in 48hours.

I bought 2 large airstones to keep the o2 up. Can i just put them in my sump or should i add them in the tank?

Thanks for the advice

They way I used it (like 6 x last year ) was...shut off skimmer; treatment 1; wait 48 hours; treatment 2; wait another 48 hours; 20% water change; fire skimmer back up. So 96 hours, not 72. Be careful though. Even with the 20% water change, the skimmer will want to play funky for awhile.

As for the airstones...I tried that the first time, but what a hassle. Saltcreep everywhere. If you have good flow, your water will be oxygenated enough without them.

HTH and good luck,
