I turned my skimmer off.

Follow the directions. Or go less than the directions say. And remember to account for rocks and sand. I usually say about 80%-85% of your system volume is actual water volume.

I usually guestimate at 80% for display and 40%-50% for sump since they usually run lower.

 

[CoralB]

You shouldn't. It's hit or miss if you read through people's posts. I didn't lose anything when I used it.

Which Chemiclean did you get?

The red one

I have a 80% for the 75 gallon and 40-50% for sump . Doesn’t the sump run through the 75 gallon or should I disconnect from the main tank ?? So 75 gallon and 15 gallon sump .

 

[CoralB]

Then how much water change afterward 10,20,30, gallons or do a fifty percent ??

 

[CoralB]

I know what the direction say but is there a recommendation of days to leave it in ?

 

[CoralB]

Is the red one ok ?

If I'm understanding your tank/sump sizes correctly,

Add together the volumes so
-75 gallon display at 80% = 60 gallons
-15 gallon sump at 50% = 7.5 gallons

Total volume 67.5 gallons I'd round down so figure about 65 gallons total.

Someone more familiar with Chemiclean usage should answer the others.

Thank you

A little tour ( not finished yet )

I've only used it once and I don't remember if I followed the directions for the water change...

I believe I did a 10% change one day and another 10% change two or 3 days later.

Very long time. Checkerboard wrasse. I haven't seen the Gramma eat either.

So did the aggression just start?

Useful things for making trouble ——- sounds like a album cover and name

Lol my wife and I play a game called "Band, album or song"? If we hear a phrase like that we pick which one of the 3 it reminds us of
