"Chemi-clean helps clean and remove this problem algae through its own unique process. Most other red slime removers use purely antibiotics, namely erythromycin to take care of the algae. The use of such substances with in your aquarium can have disastrous effects upon your nitrifying bacteria and cause your tank to crash, killing the inhabitants of your aquarium"
I'm pretty sure its not antiobiotic based and that is why I asked the question. If it was Erythromycin based the process would be pretty straight forward. Other products like red slime remover etc. are erythromycin based and to me can be bad news for a reef aquarium.

I thought my water was clear too until I seen the difference it made. I really had no idea it could get that much clearer.

Chort I figure it has something to do w/ this, but the thing that doesn't add up is my skimmer is off for at least 48 hours after treatment and th water is perfectly clear before I even turn the skimmer back on.
