Chemipure blue and chemiclean

[randy4083]

Can you use chemiclean with chemipure blue at the same time because I'm having problems with algae and I've done a water change every week and I'm running chemipure blue and within 2 days the algae comes back

Problems with algae, or cyanobacteria?

The directions for chemiclean (which ONLY is useful against cyanobacteria) say to not use chemi-pure at the same time. Presumably, it binds the antibiotic in chemiclean

I got some cyanobacteria and some green algae and I can't get rid of it I've done multiple water changes with rodi water and I'm running chemipure blue

I'll take a picture of it but I just cleaned the glass but in a couple of days it will be back on there and once it gets on the glass I've got a on the back filter and the bubbles stick to the algae and it's terrible and I've got 2 tanks and my 55 gallon is fine but the 30 gallon that I'm about to show you I can't get it right for some reason

I posted some pictures of the tank and it would be greatly appreciated if you could let me know what to do

How often are you replacing the Chemipure?

 

[randy4083]

This is the second time I've put it in and the first time I had chemipure elite and I used that for about 2 months and I just put the chemipure blue in a couple of weeks ago
