Chemiclean

How long after using this product did your skimmer settle down? Be a full week and I still can't skim without the cup over flowing in short order....

Done any water changes since?

Mine took around a little less than a week, just make sure to do a minimum 20% water change after using chemiclean

Ya. I did the water change as directed.

Replenishing my carbon helped a lot.

When I used it - I left the cup off the skimmer for 2 days - did the water change added back the carbon. Then I opened the outlet of my skimmer so that the max water was going back into the sump (ie. lowered the level of the water/bubbles in the skimmer). Then took a silicone hose from the skimmer cup drain and led it to a 5 gallon bucket - and treated it like a water change. took about a day of wet skimming to get it back to normal. (I put SW in my ATO) instead of RODI during that time - I think I had to empty the bucket one time.

I use chemiclean 2x a year, like a tank enema whether I have cyano or not.

Alway 36 hours w lights out. I don’t black out the tank.

I leave the skimmer run and drain into the sump w carbon removed.

At 36 hours I do a 20% WC, add carbon back in, and rarely still have the skimmer overflowing
