ChemiClean, 48hours past, now what?

[zheka757]

Wow that stuff realy works to remove cyenobacteria, but I just realized I didn't have a plan after 48 hours. Right now I just did 75gallon out of 460 water change. Airstones still in the tank I'll remove them tomorrow.
My nitrates and phosfates where at 0 couple days ago. And I was suggested to stop dosing neonitro, and energy ab+ to keep levels up a bit. What do I do now? Dose nitrogen? Or ab+?

add carbon, run skimmer and even a water change

what should i do about phosphate/nitrate being at 0

Feed the fish and coral. Powdered plankton foods like reef roids will quickly elevate the phosphate levels.
What test kits are you using to check Phos level ?

I always let it run 72 to 96 hours. Important to stir up the sand-bed next to the glass all around the tank. Then a 20 to 25% water Change. Carbon, changed out every 24 to 48 hours, run the skimmer, with the bottom drain open back to the sump, till it settles down. BTW, I have a Clean Skimmer running the whole time, just with the bottom drain open, to the sump. Great for injecting air into the water without the salt tracking mess.

Hanna checker

Here and there I will see as much as .15 on phosfate but will avantualy go down to zero in couple in less then a week, but nitrates almost garanted to be 0 every test, 3 different test kits, a week before chemiclean, I start dosing neonitro, and energy ab+ and cyeno was getting out of control,

I would raise those ASAP. Bottomed out nutrients after using Chemiclean is a surefire way to get dinos

This is after treatment, still got airstones in a tank, never being a believer in chemicals, but wow this one really works.
