Chemiclean causing pink water

[Gator_Reefer]

Anyone used Chemiclean for red cyano and had their water turn to a slight pink tint?

Started dose of Chemiclean last night. Wondering if I should do a large water change before the 48 hrs recommened. Cyano is 80% gone...would like to keep it running if safe for the animals.

Mine did too....I believe it is the cyano dying, and the colour leaching into the water. I remember someone on here mentioning a test to see if it was cyano or dinos. Take fresh water, some of the sludge, freeze it then take out and see what colour it is. Pink Cyano, Brown Dino. Did it, and mine was distinctly pink. Noticed that tint in the tank as well for a day after treatment. Did my change at 48 hrs.
