Chemiclean Question

[reeftankjunkie]

I used a half dose of Chemiclean on Friday afternoon. This afternoon I did a large water change like the bottle said, after the water change, I tried to turn the skimmer back on, but even with the standpipe all the way down, it starts to overflow with in 60 seconds. should I just leave the skimmer off for another day or so? I also put in a fresh batch of carbon after the water change.

I'd say at least 24 hours; I put some in my tank about a year ago--and it took FOREVER to get my water back to where it should be--hopefully you'll have better luck--but I let my cyano get really bad before i did anything.

Do another waterchange before turing skimmer back on...

 

[reeftankjunkie]

I held off as long as I could, but the cyano was getting pretty bad on my sand. I'll try to turn the skimmer back on tommorow, and see if that helps.

Thanks

I had a problem with RS one time sucked it out, added some more flow and never saw it again.

Try to stay away from chemicals if you can.

More water changes, carbon and waiting it out is your best bet.
