I bought this to cure something I thought was algae (and after research found it was cyanobacteria) in my 40 gallon Tank with fresh water. I followed the directions, removed the charcoal and chemistry, and left the airstones on all day (they were usually off during the day while the CO2 was being introduced). The instructions say to do a 20% water change after 48 hours and put the charcoal back in. Unfortunately, due to my schedule, I was only able to do a water change after 72 hours. For the first 24 hours I didn't see any changes at all (I didn't expect anything) and after 48 hours I didn't see any changes either (I expected something). At the 72 hour mark, however, I could see the cyanobacteria "stretching out" and becoming less dense. Now, on day 5 after checmiclean's initiation, I see very little bacterial residue. I think the instructions should say (and the reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 stars) to try to remove as much cyano as possible before treatment. I have a feeling if I removed it as much as possible (which I didn't, thinking the dry cleaner would get rid of it all) I would see absolutely no sign of it, but I would see small remnants I see today . By the way I don't see any visible change or effect on my fish, invertebrates or plants which is great!
