I got a dosage of this from my LFS and was afraid to try it. Finally the cyanogen was so bad I felt I had no choice. I treated and cleaned/picked at the cyanogen for 2 days. Today did the 205 water change and I am real happy with the results. It didn’t kill anything in my tank. It should be noted to add a large air stone under one of the wave makers to hyper oxygenate the water. If you don’t do this you could possibly loose some livestock.
Yes, I recommend this product.

rip off
Don't care if it works or not. Looked for this Chemiclean at my online supplier's. There all around 15 bucks. Looked online local and see Petco has it for the price. Went there and picked it up and it is 25 bucks. Never will i go in Petco again.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Works very very well
I've been struggling to get rid of blue-green algae for months and could eradicate it. I read about chemiclean and decided to give it a try. I dosed once but did not see much change on the algae level in a day or so. Then I treated again with a second dose. It appeared its effect is mild and it takes some time to kick in. In less than a week all the blue-green algae disappeared from my tank. I recently did a 50% water change to remove the added chemicals and planning on more water changes soon. Also for the record, my plants remained unaffected by the chemical. They actually started to grow faster after the algae competitor disappeared. I had no fish in the tank so I can't report of effect on fish.
No, I do not recommend this product.

What about lights ?
- mrpergo, Thank you for your question. You do not need to turn off your lights while using the ChemiClean, as your corals do need the light in order to survive. However, if you are having algae problems in your aquarium it may be caused by having your lights on to long in your aquarium. We only recommend keeping your lights on 8-10 hours a day and the longer that you have the lights on the more algae problems you can have in the future. Algae not only feeds from the exes nutrients in your aquarium it also feeds from the light.

more air
- Put in an airstone while treating.

Will Chemiclean get rid of my red algae problem??
- Yes this product worked but you must carefully measure the exact dosage and add a lot of water circulation or other oxygenation as instructed, or your livestock can perish. First time I used this product I add a little circulation and did not measure very carefully and outcome was almost all dead livestocks. Second time I had 5 power heads running in a 90 gallon tank and measured dosage very carefully, and after 4 days all red algae disappeared overnight.
