Why does my skimmer excessively overflow after using Chemi-Clean?
Your Skimmer is working overtime to remove the left over residue of Chemi-Clean left in your system. If this excessive flow is too much you may dilute the Chemi-Clean remaining in your system by addition water changes. The replacement of your chemical filtration will also help. If your protein skimmer is in a sump just let the skimmer overflow in sump. This process will cease in a few hours.
Will Chemi-Clean harm my fish or invertebrate’s?
No, Chemi-Clean has been extensively tested with thousands of fishes and invertebrate’s including SPF’s with no adverse effect. Not following directions exactly can cause adverse effects. You must follow the directions exactly.

Fine Product
By Robert on Oct 18, 2019
Quickly removes that ugly slime that I thought was some form of algae. Use as directed and you will notice an improvement within one week. I let my treatment "cook" for a couple of days and then do a partial water change. It is part of my monthly maintenance program.
