Seiryoku Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 So I resorted to adding a little chemiclean to my 20H yesterday afternoon to kill off the little bit of cyano hanging around my tank. Problem was much worse a few weeks ago, but was able to nearly rid the tank of it with chemipure/phosban. I forgot to remove my chemipure elite yesterday when I added it...two questions... Did it make yesterdays dose 100% ineffective? Did it ruin the bag of chemipure? Link to comment
bdare Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 If you have cyano you shouldn't really resort to chemicals to remove it. More than likely it's caused by excess nutrients (phosphate / nitrate) in your tank. A better solution is to find the root of the problem. Link to comment
Seiryoku Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Yes I know...and reduced it about 90% by doing so. I've dealt with it in another tank a while ago...and am well aware of what you "should do". Still wondering if anyone can answer my actual question... Link to comment
bdare Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 What you "SHOULD DO" is cut back on feeding and use a turkey baster to clean your rock during water changes. Oh yeah... and don't use flake food. Link to comment
Seiryoku Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Dude, go away if you can't answer my question... Link to comment
bdare Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Well.... You asked what you should do. You responded like a know it all, yet in your original post said you were using chemiclean to get rid of your cyano... More than likely your chemipure is toast. I'd switch to a bag of carbon and a bag of GFO. The phosphate obsorbtion in chemipure is exhausted long before the carbon. Link to comment
Seiryoku Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 I asked two questions...neither was about how to kill off cyano... (I run phosban as well, not worried about the phosphate aspect of the chemipure) Link to comment
Captainj42 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Dude, go away if you can't answer my question... No ###### I really hate when people don't know what they are talking about, from what I read you didn't use ANY chemicals just added filter media....... O and sorry but I cant answer your problem just had to comment on that Link to comment
bdare Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I asked two questions...neither was about how to kill off cyano... (I run phosban as well, not worried about the phosphate aspect of the chemipure) If you run phosban why do you pay for chemipure elite? The only difference is they add phosphate removing media to the bag. No ###### I really hate when people don't know what they are talking about, from what I read you didn't use ANY chemicals just added filter media....... O and sorry but I cant answer your problem just had to comment on that Are you kidding me? Link to comment
Seiryoku Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 I felt like wasting the extra money on the elite, now will you leave? Don't assume everyone here that asks a question is a noob that knows nothing... p(*＾-＾*)q Link to comment

bdare Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Look dude. I came here and only tried to help you. In every post you made there's been some sort of snide remark. If you are SUCH an expert then don't crap on people that try to help you. Link to comment
Seiryoku Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 I DIDN'T ASK HOW TO GET RID OF CYANO! Why haven't you figured that out yet? Again, I didn't ask how to get rid of cyano. Understand now? Took you three posts to even say anything remotely close to an answer to one of my two questions and even then you insisted on telling me what I should do to battle cyano... Still not sure why you didn't understand my original two questions... Link to comment
Krayon Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 lol, this may just be fishnemo all over again it does not make it 100 ineffective, the chemi pure should be OK correction* listen to Bdare Link to comment

Seiryoku Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 lol, this may just be fishnemo all over again it does not make it 100 ineffective, the chemi pure should be OK Thank you for an actual freaking answer, finally! To everyone else, congratulations on upping your post count. Link to comment
bdare Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Did you read the directions? http://www.marvelousproducts.com/Chemiclea.../chemiclean.htm "Important Note: So you do not alter or filter ChemiClean out of your tank, first turn off UV sterilizer and/or Ozonizer and also your Protein Skimmer. Remove ChemiPure or any other Carbon Filtration for 24 hours following each treatment." Link to comment
BKtomodachi Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 bdare, stfu. Your tone on this forum is consistently derogatory, and you don't have the facts to back it up. Link to comment
bdare Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Don't have facts? Are you kidding? I quote RHF all day long to back up what I tell people. Was I wrong in this instance? No! The directions of the product say to remove your carbon / chemipure so the product doesn't get filtered out. If the product is getting filtered out by chemipure it means the pores of the product are being taken up which renders it useless!

bdare Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 and you don't have the facts to back it up. Give me 1 example with a link... Link to comment
