![]() Can I blame it on chemiclean directly no.
But when your skimmer goes wild for two weeks then still after a month your pouring out clean water. Get a mass algae problem cyano comes back . Pop a good skimmer in there and she's nasty in a hour with brown green baby poop . Not sure if the skimmer was on the way out... It was a cheap skimmer Made me buy a good one... Worth it in the end ![]() |

![]() I've used chemiclean and never had any of those issues, I have 2 pod eaters and lots of pods, you have to turn your skimmer off for a few days and use air stones for O2, Dinos are more photosynthetic than cyano, thats why they appear and disappear with the light, if it's dinos the bubbles and strings will appear eventually, cyano mats hold nutrients and the cyano feeds itself and is less reliant on light.
You have dinos IMO, a tougher fight but winnable, it is important to ID exactly what you have.

![]() For what it's worth there's nothing in chemiclean that can hurt a skimmer , a skimmers pump works at 100% whether chemi is in there or not.
Also it's known that flow actually spreads the bak not cures it

![]() I had some cyano reently and just used chemiclean. Cleared it up right away, didn't hurt anything in the tank, had to re-tune my skimmer for a few days (until after a big water change). Fighting it naturally and winning must be a fabulous feeling, but I'm not inclined to go through all that, so just used chemicals. Worked for me

![]() I'd really rather not use chemi clean, I've been battling it and I think I'm winning... I am not using any phosban or anything like that so that's next on the list.

![]() Same thing happens with my tank... I see some cyano during the day, by night it's gone and comes back the next morning. Really strange, I've been wondering the same thing........
