Chemiclean Red Slime Remove And Oxygen Question

Can you please point out the statement where they say that there product does not contain antibiotics?

 

"Cynobacteria is usually encouraged with the presence of nitrate and ammonia, which are both fixed forms of nitrogen. 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."

It is implied here, but I am digging deeper for you. I also found this:

Ok, I can't seem to find a list of what is in this product. I sent an email to the manufacture http://www.chemi-pure.com along with a link to this forum. I guess we have to wait and see what they have to say.

 

Thanks... I guess maybe I'll wait and see if they say anything, and what you guys think about the ingredients

 

While we are waiting, maybe you could check out BRS reactors to use some Bio Pellets. You could check out this thread as well:

The conclusion of the first go around was that bio pellets were the best in this test. ;D

 

Most other red slime removers use purely antibiotics
All this implies is that their product is not 100% antibiotics.What percentage is not antibiotics is not stated.

Contains no phosphates, algaecides or erythromycin succinate.
We know it does not contain erythromycin but what about other antibiotics. The don't mention them not make that blanket claim that the product contains no antibiotics. Only that it contains no erythromycin.

If you analyze the legaleze in these statements, we know the following:
1. The product does not contain the antibiotic erythromycin
2. The product is not 100 percent antibiotics
3. Most other red slime products are 100% antibiotics
4. These statements allow them to produce a product that is anything less than 100% antibiotics that is any type other than aerythromycin!

 

I agree with you, that is why I sent the email to their customer service. Now I just want to know, and I can't seem to find the info on the web.

 

I forgot about this thread as well. This is a better option for you as well. http://www.3reef.com/forums/algae/thank-you-dowtish-cyano-help-127261.html

 

chumslickjon posted a comment in this thread. I wonder why he did not recommend it? Not saying it doesn't work as I am a big fan of Ecological Labs Special Blend!!!

 

Alright, so I decided to just give it a try...

I assume this, plus the PHs, is plenty of oxygen.
It almost seem like too much bubbles. The fish are a bit freaked out.

The tank is 60G, but I wasn't sure the actual water amount. So I only put in 4 and a bit of one more scoop in.
1 scoop per 10G it said.

I guess we'll see what happens.
