No damage at all after second outbreak and treatment but I confess I did not use it full strength. I still have 2 small patches in the display and a 5cm area on the front panel of the refugium.

Nope. I wouldn't hesitate to use it again, if I ever needed to.

Waste of money , I used it , came back with a army a month later .

So I bought a better skimmer , up my flow , and purged my sand and rocks every water change . Never comes back .

Sometimes it will show on the top of my over flow , but it never spreads and just tells me I need to do a little bigger of a water change this time and it goes away .


Find the problem . Chemiclean should only be used to save frags and corals from being choked to death .

Also have patience , it eventually will give up if you don't first .

i've done 3 treatments over the course of about a year. it goes away but it does come back after a few months. this time around i'm upping my use of a turkey baster as it's nowhere near coral choking power and i'm trying to beat or manage it without adding chemicals.

Used it roughly 9 months ago; worked great for what it needed to do. No issues aside from the skimmer taking nearly a week to stabilize. While using the chemiclean, I just took the collection cup off the skimmer and it became a super oxygenator for the tank.

I have been reefng for about six years and I have never run into a cyno problem. BUT once I started using bio pellets back in August soon after the cyno came. I used Chemi-clean for he first time in October after being very hesitant about putting something in my tank with the name "chemo-clean " sounds like a floor cleaner. It works ! and it work great just make sure to take you skimmer cup off or you will have a big mess
