What kinds of aquarium stains does Chemi-Clean treat?

Chemi-Clean is for stains caused by red, black, blue-green and methane (bubble)-producing cyanobacteria. It is designed for fresh and salt water, including marine aquariums. During treatment, it oxidizes trapped organic sludge and promotes an ideal enzyme balance.

• Targets stains associated with multiple types of cyanobacteria.
• Suitable for reef systems containing fish, corals, invertebrates, nitrifying bacteria and macroalgae.

How do I dose and use Chemi-Clean?

For each 10 gallons (38 L) of aquarium water, dissolve one level scoop of Chemi-Clean in one cup (237 mL) of water removed from the aquarium. Pour the dissolved treatment back into the aquarium and distribute it evenly. The level scoop is included.

• Increase oxygen with heavy aeration or a large air stone.
• Turn off the UV sterilizer and ozonizer, and remove Chemi-pure or carbon during treatment.
• Keep the protein skimmer running; adjust it if needed to prevent excessive overflow, and maintain normal flow with pumps and power heads.

What should I do after the treatment period?

After the 48-hour treatment period, perform a 20% water change. Then turn the UV sterilizer and ozonizer back on and replace Chemi-pure or carbon. Treatment may take up to 48 hours, and it can be repeated as necessary.

• Chemi-Clean can also be used monthly as part of aquarium maintenance.
• Keep increased aeration in place during treatment.

Chemi-Clean is suited to aquarium keepers treating cyanobacteria stains in freshwater, saltwater or reef systems who can follow the aeration and equipment steps. Its pack treats up to 300 gallons, and the included scoop provides a measure for dosing aquarium water.
