the stuff works but be ready to do water changes every 2 days and dont even turn your PS on for a while

Used it more than once over the years. Good stuff

I just did my 48hr cycle of ChemiClean and finished my WC a few minutes ago. How long should I wait to put the skimmer back online?

As long as your skimmer does not overflow from too many bubbles you are fine. Just start it on the lowest setting

Ohhhhhhhhh.........It blew up! LOL. I had to turn it way way down

Last time I did a Chemi-Clean treatment on my 100, it took about a week for my skimmer to settle down.

I'm one week from my Chemi-clean treatment which did wonders on the red slime, but I can't even turn on my skimmer without it completely overflowing. I've adjusted it up and down to the right and left, but it just blows up. Am I ok not running it for awhile or should I be running it and just use an overflow jug, although i suspect that it will fill up in no time.

I did a 30% water change yesterday. Would doing another one help?

In short it will take several more.
