    I also like pulsing X BUT just my own .02 it grows like wild fire. IT will literally take over your tank in a short time. you need to be ready to remove it as soon as you see it start to spread to areas of your tank that you don't want covered with it.

    Dealing with the uglies

    This is getting interesting the report was just identifying what is in chemiclean not if its detrimental to bio filtration now as I understand it Erythromycin treats gram positive bacteria. Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter are gram negative.

    Dealing with the uglies

    and so do i my friend, we both want what is best for the hobby. I am in agreement with some that feel there is no antibiotic in CemiClean. And if they where to openly give their ingredients to the public it may come to pass that their secret ingredient is something easy accessible and CHEAP...

    Dealing with the uglies

    Of course my good friend I am hitting you with these questions how else would I learn. Now to further my education. I do believe cyano is photosynthetic and manufactures its own food through this method. As far as I know the bacteria convert inert atmospheric nitrogen into an organic form. This...

    Dealing with the uglies

    I must admit my friend you got me here. I am adamant about following directions. Now lets see what they say. Turn off your skimmer and increase oxygenation. Well it seems to me if i leave my protein skimmer on but remove the collection cup it saves me having to buy an air pump and air stone...

    First remember in such a small tank anything you introduce displaces water. and dilution is your friend. Zoas are nice but can over run your tank quickly now for the coral identification. I don't think its a brain . Look into the Mycedium Genus. specifically elephant nose coral

    Dealing with the uglies

    So what you are saying is if this product is used as directed it can cause a tank crash and destroy your bio filtration. Guess i was just one of the luck ones that used it and did not have this happen. but i will be sure to pass on your assessment to the members of my club. One frequent speaker...

    Dealing with the uglies

    while i will admit that chemiclean is a band aid it WILL remove the cyano quickly while you address the underlining cause. I have used it before and its been around for a long time. like anything we add to our tank following the instructions for dosage is paramount. I have never seen any data...
