Boyd Enterprises ChemiClean LIQUID Red Slime Remover 2oz
Boyd ChemiClean LIQUID is the liquid version of the original ChemiClean formula for eliminating red slime algae (cyanobacteria) from marine aquariums. Cyano isn't actually algae — it's a photosynthetic bacteria — which is why standard algae treatments don't touch it. ChemiClean breaks down the biofilm cyanobacteria form, eliminating the colony rather than just bleaching the visible surface. The liquid format dissolves directly into the tank. Remove carbon filtration during the 48-hour treatment window and run heavy aeration — cyano die-off consumes oxygen as it breaks down.
