Chemiclean with Achilles tang?

[R6REEFER]

Just as the title implies, what's your opinion? Any personal experiences? I've been battling cyano since I've set this tank up. I take my Po4 to 0.00 ppm and LPS start to die but cyano disappears. I've decided this tank is going to be strictly Acro's, milli's, and monti's as those are the only corals that can thrive in my flow, lighting, and nutrients. BUT until my 46 cube cycles I have to keep my LPS alive and the cyano is starting to effect them. Double edged sword.....

My Achilles is doing extremely well and is getting quite fat, needless to say I don't want to mess that up or stress her out. I've treated with Chemiclean several times before with 2 pumps drawing O2 to compensate for the oxidation and no creatures were harmed, even my sticks. That was before the Achilles though. It goes away at night btw, I've done many blackouts which work but I refuse to do that with the Achilles.

I'm confused... So what was the question? For a quick fix just use a siphon and get rid of all the bacteria on the sand bed during your next water change. Maybe step up the flow too. I'm not sure how the tang comes into play though.

Chemiclean can stress out a fish by word of mouth. I've never seen any negative effects when used properly. I used it once back in the newbie days without supplementing O2 and killed a Kole tang. That tank tiny compared to this one though, much more gas exchange. Siphoning isn't worth the hassle plus it's not water change time yet, if I do one too early Ill lose my No3 and po4 balance. I want to know if the Chemiclean will bother the Achilles as they are notorious for being one of the most fragile fish to care for in terms of immune system and stress.

How big is the tank it's in now? Chemiclean might be the least of your problems...

160g, my system is more than well equipped for the fish, I have all necessary knowledge, medications, foods etc. That's not what I'm here for... I swear every thread on this site turns into this nonsense. HAS ANYONE USED CHEMICLEAN PROPERLY WITH AN ACHILLES TANG?
