Chemiclean Red Slime Remover – 2 Gram Packet

Help keep your reef looking clean with Chemiclean Red Slime Remover.

Chemiclean Red Slime Remover is an aquarium treatment designed to help eliminate red slime algae, commonly known as cyanobacteria, in saltwater aquariums. Red slime can spread across live rock, sand, and other surfaces, affecting the appearance of your reef and competing with the healthy environment you want to maintain.

Chemiclean provides a treatment option for reef keepers dealing with persistent red slime buildup. When used as directed, it helps clear unwanted growth while allowing you to get your aquarium back on track.

Key Features

  • Designed to treat red slime algae (cyanobacteria).

  • Suitable for saltwater and reef aquariums.

  • Helps clear red slime from rockwork and substrate.

  • Convenient 2-gram packet.

How to Use

Follow the manufacturer's directions carefully for the correct dosage based on your aquarium's actual water volume. Before treatment, remove activated carbon and other chemical filtration media as directed on the packaging, and ensure adequate water movement and aeration throughout the treatment period. Monitor your aquarium closely and complete the recommended water change after treatment.

Important: Maintain strong aeration during treatment, as oxygen levels can drop. Do not overdose, and follow all instructions regarding protein skimmers and filtration. Addressing underlying causes, such as excess nutrients, detritus buildup, or inadequate flow, can help reduce the chance of red slime returning.

Collapsible content

LIGHT

LOW: Place coral at the bottom of the tank. Depending on the type, coral may need to be placed off sand and therefore mounted on a ceramic disc of piece of rock.

MEDIUM: Place coral at mid-range of the tank. Best placed/glued on top of a rock scape at mid-range height. 

HIGH: Place coral from mid range to just below water level. SPS coral are shallow growing so they require and are able to tolerate intense light.

FLOW

LOW: Most soft coral do well with a small, gentle pulse. There are certain corals that can even be placed in areas of indirect flow, meaning places aside a rock structure or set into a entrance to a cave style space.

MEDIUM: Many LPS types of coral prefer medium pulse current. Most Euphyllia or corals that have more tissue structure connected to their skeleton, don’t like to be in a high flow area like the direct flow of the wave pump.

HIGH: Similar to high light, SPS enjoy being in some heavy current. Most LPS and SPS that branch encrust or plate prefer high flow that simulates the top water waves.

SKILL

ENTRY: While some may say beginner level, "Entry" is a good term to be used when starting out in the world of corals and marine life. Prior to adding livestock, you want to ensure that your reef has the proper parameters including zero levels of ammonia and nitrite. Seeing traces of nitrate in your waters is a good sign - just keep them at a lower level of 2ppm to 10ppm. Maintaining correct temperature and salinity are a huge factor to stable parameters. Starting to monitor your PH, alkalinity, calcium and magnesium is a great habit to get into to keep a successful reef.

While some soft coral don’t require too much light, having a proper reef light that puts out the proper pars is very important. You'll also want to have a good amount of flow and protected rock areas, as placing corals in their happy spot is ideal for success.
