Boyd Enterprises Chemi-Clean

Boyd Enterprises Chemi-Clean provides a safe, antibiotic-free solution to eliminate cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) outbreaks in freshwater aquariums within 48 hours. The formula works by oxidizing organic sludge, safely clearing slimy, foul-smelling stains without harming delicate aquatic plants, shrimp, or snails. The treatment requires removing chemical filtration and ensuring heavy aeration during application for optimal safety.

Take back control of your sandbed and rockwork. A sudden cyanobacteria breakout—often called "red slime algae"—can quickly smother beautiful coral colonies, turn pristine substrate into an ugly mat, and deplete vital oxygen levels in your ecosystem.
Boyd Enterprises Chemi-Clean offers a premium, reef-safe solution to resolve outbreaks quickly. Many competing red slime removers rely heavily on chemical antibiotics like erythromycin succinate, which can inadvertently wipe out your tank's biofilter and cause catastrophic system crashes. Chemi-Clean uses a distinct, antibiotic-free oxidation process to break down the trapped organic waste and sediment that cyanobacteria feed on.
By cleaning away these stains and promoting a healthy, natural enzyme balance, it restores magnificent water clarity while keeping your delicate invertebrates, macroalgae, and fish entirely safe. Whether used as an immediate problem solver or integrated into a regular maintenance routine, it is the gold-standard tool for maintaining a spotless, healthy reef environment.

✨ Key Features & Highlights

  • Eradicates Multiple Strains: Effectively cleans away stains caused by red, black, blue-green, and bubble-producing cyanobacteria.
  • True 48-Hour Results: Fast-acting formula breaks down organic sludge to deliver visible results in just two days.
  • 100% Reef & Coral Safe: Formulated to be completely gentle on sensitive SPS/LPS corals, reef invertebrates, and macroalgae.
  • Protects Beneficial Bacteria: Completely free from erythromycin succinate and harsh algaecides, ensuring your biological filter remains untouched.
  • Dual Compatibility: Engineered primarily for marine reef environments, but highly effective for freshwater setups as well.

📋 Step-by-Step Directions for Safe Use

Because Chemi-Clean oxidizes organic sludge, it will naturally cause a temporary drop in your tank's oxygen levels. Following these instructions exactly is critical for livestock safety:
  1. Prep the System: Remove all chemical filtration media (such as carbon, GFO, or Chemi-Pure) from your filter socks or reactors.
  2. Disconnect Equipment: Turn off your UV steriliser, ozoniser, and protein skimmer (or remove the skimmer's collection cup to allow it to run solely for oxygenation without overflowing).
  3. Maximize Aeration (Critical Step): Add a large air pump and an air stone directly into the display tank. Maintain heavy aeration throughout the entire 48-hour treatment period.
  4. Dose the Aquarium: Add the recommended dose based on your total water volume, making sure to calculate and subtract displacement from your sandbed and live rock.
  5. The Water Change: Allow the treatment to work for 48 hours. Once complete, perform a minimum 20% water change.
  6. Reset: Replace your chemical filtration media with fresh carbon or Chemi-Pure. Turn your UV steriliser, ozoniser, and protein skimmer back on.
