Probably just scared of all the racket LOL. You can turn them off, and start them with the treatment tomorrow. But, its your choice. Either way it will be ok.
I thought you had to run them BEFORE....so I figured a whole night would be good.....I don;t want to take any chances

You can. I think that its really important during treatment. Lots of people have used this with good results, but I understand how you feel. I just poured an algae removal in mine LOL. You know, speaking of chemiclean, my lfs uses it so often, I dont think it works for them anymore. Their tanks are full of cyano. And its funny cause the other day when i bought the algefix, they said hey,we just got this new stuff in called chemiclean LOL.

Up to 48hrs I think. If I remember correctly, I saw results around 24hrs. When it works, your tank gets really clear and sharp.
I hope....LOL....Tomorrow I will do nothing...and Sunday the water change.....if I need to I will treat again next Friday probably

Just be careful with your skimmer. I know it tells you to resume skimming after your water change, but I had to wait until I did atleast 3 water changes before mine would run without overflowing. Even turned down as far as it would go, it overflowed. You will know when you turn it on. I wouldn't trust it for awhile.

I think I may.....I will see later when the lights have been on for a while
I don't use carbon.....I sue chemi-pure elite in the canister and it is fairly new...so I'm not changing it.....LOL
OH YEAH.....The skimmer is going crazy....I had to adjust it WAYYYYYYY down, BUT I am watching it closely...

Just curious, did you remove it before you added the chemiclean? Or did you run it while you dosed? Yes, keep an eye on the skimmer LOL.
I had just changed it a couple of weeks ago......SO I left it alone
ANYWAY...since I have check valves on all the airlines....I am just going to unplug them...instead of remove them....this way if I have to do it again in a few days, allI have to do is plug them back in

LOL..HOW WEIRD
I have been sitting here with the cabinet doors open so I could watch the skimmer.....I have it turned way down...and the foam has still been way up there.....ALL of a sudden...it dropped....LOL....I wonder if that means it is catching up????
I am gonna keep it turned down though for a while longer
