Thanks for the recommendation Lazylivin. I treated the system yesterday and today the cyano is all gone from the sump and the DT is 80% clear. Here is a before and today shot of it.

Good deal, glad it worked

I know alot of others have had great experiences with chemiclean but not in my case. Ive used it on 2 different occasions. The first time I did back to back treatments and afterwards I experienced a lot of stn and coral loss. I thought that maybe it was due to me doing back to back treatments. I tried it again maybe a year or so later with one treatment and experienced the same stn and loss. Both times my skimmer went nuts for right at a week, had to run it wide open. I threw the bottle in the trash and will never use it again. I guess every system is different and reacts differently with treatments.

That’s odd Jeff. I haven’t seen any negative effects so far. Yes, it says to oxygenate the water while doing the treatment so I just took my skimmer cup off and let it bubble over. pH is about .5 lower than normal. Going to do the 20% WC tomorrow and I’m hoping that calms the skimmer down a bit. I tried putting my cup back on but even wide open it’s overflowing.

I do the same Jesse. If your skimmer cup has a drain you can hook it up to a 5g bucket. It will usually stop in about 10- 15 minutes running into bucket. Keep an eye on it though

Ditto on the skimmer drain. I also did a 20% WC and ran carbon for a couple day afterwards.

I don’t have a Skimmer drain on my cup. I did a 20% WC and then just dumped the cup a couple times the first two hours. It seemed to do the trick. The Chemiclean did a fantastic job I must say....
