Chemiclean and red slime algae

[Mark_C]

There's a post below titled 'Using Hydrogen Peroxide for cyano removal'.

I do this once in a while (and just did it to 2 frags this week. It works wonders.
2 parts water, 1 Part HP, dip frag for no more than 5 mins, replace in tank.
Softies seem to love it and hair algae gone in a day or two.

BUT - for this vid was more for RED SLIME removal using Chemiclean!
I'm having a prob with red slime at the moment.
I was doing water changes and manual removal nightly (though it grew as fast as I could remove it).
After viewing the video I went out and bought some.
Used it last night.
About 50% of the red slime is gone tonight (24 hours later).
Inverts are all OK (snails, fire shrimp, sexy shrimp), jawbreaker is fine, all zoas look good.

Going to replace media and carbon tomorrow as well as dong the required water change.
Will report on final results.



Edit: Just found this as well: Lower dose Chemiclean

You will love the result. Tank will be super clean.

I use chemi clean 2-3 times a year. Start seeing Cyanobacteria and hit it early. Too much and it will cause problems in your tank

Used recommended amount. Skimmer still going a bit nuts 48 hours later. Changed floss 3-4 times over past 2 days but tank looks fantastic.
Pretty astounding results, rocks no longer covered, no strands, and all livestock happy.
