![]() For sure, you want to do the water change. Don't risk your tank inhabitants by leaving it in there.

![]() So if there is still cyano 24 hours after the water change should I dose again?

![]() After 24 hrs about half my cyano was gone. All after the 48.
Skimmer still going nuts after a 20% water change. Putting some fresh carbon in now and hopefully skimming normally by tomorrow. Really impressed by how well this stuff worked. My corals showed no signs of stress. I did notice some of my sponges look a little deflated tho. |

![]() Yah I was being impatient when I posted this. at the 48 hour mark when it was time to do the water change and turn the skimmer back on I siphoned out all the cyano I could reach, but I didn't get all of it. My skimmer went nuts for about a day, and at 48 hours the last remnants of cyano that I couldn't siphon off vanished.

![]() For me two 20% water changes two days in a row (on a weekend) and a third one the following weekend plus copious amounts of carbon replaced every other day is what it took me to get my skimmer happy again

![]() the Stuff that I had siphoned off was detaching from the glass and sand in one giant sheet, so if that had launched in to the water I'm sure I would have seen it, it was a continuous sheet about 10 inches long and 6 inches wide. The remnants that were left on the glass were just tiny patches, and they were right under a vortech, so one moment it was there, then the next time I looked they weren't

![]() if anything it's probably suppressing a new outbreak of cyano i guess lol.
a chemiclean treatment every few months if needed won't be the end of the world i'm thinking. the tank gets some serious water change love as a result. tank looks happier than it's looked since setup as far as my sticks go. |
