Anyone have any luck using this stuff to get rid of red cynao? I just tried my first dose, and im really hoping it works.

I have heard of several reefers, even a local one here in my club, that have lost most of their livestock using it.
I would not.

It worked for me. But it will come back after awhile if nutrients aren't reduced. I usually use a little under the reccommended dose and don't forget to do the water changes that the instructions say to do.
No damage to any livestock and I have everything from fish, to sponges, to urchins in my tank. |

My problem was overfeeding, i was feeding waay way to heavy when i first got the tank going. I have cut back on feeding to a cpl times a week and have been doing water changes weekly.
Just checked my water parameters and all are great. SeanT, that makes me nervous, i wonder if they didt have proper aeration. It says in bold letters that this is very important.

i have used chemi-clean myself. i didnt even loose a snail. i have read the post SeanT quoted from, and i dont know what that guy did. make sure your skimmer is off for 48hrs like the instructions say. then do a water change once the 48hrs is up. it works but like mentioned its a temp. fix. if you dont have the nitrates, and phosphates down it will come right back.
