the stuff works but be ready to do water changes every 2 days and dont even turn your PS on for a while

Used it more than once over the years. Good stuff

I just did my 48hr cycle of ChemiClean and finished my WC a few minutes ago. How long should I wait to put the skimmer back online?

Ohhhhhhhhh.........It blew up! LOL. I had to turn it way way down

Last time I did a Chemi-Clean treatment on my 100, it took about a week for my skimmer to settle down.

I'm one week from my Chemi-clean treatment which did wonders on the red slime, but I can't even turn on my skimmer without it completely overflowing. I've adjusted it up and down to the right and left, but it just blows up. Am I ok not running it for awhile or should I be running it and just use an overflow jug, although i suspect that it will fill up in no time.

I did a 30% water change yesterday. Would doing another one help?

In short it will take several more.
