    If you use Chemi-Clean and do not do the 20% water change after the initial 48 hour's, What happen's?
    Please Help! There has been a big mistake going on here and I need advice. Thank you very much for your input.

    All of the bound contaminants remain in the tank and poison it, basically.

    Then my whole tank will crash? And all inhabitants will die?
    I used it in my tank and was making water to run a powerhead in and my girlfriend put more chemiclean in the fresh water. I have no RO/DI and no way into town for distilled for at least another week. I live in the wood,s just outside of town my truck is in the shop....and could use tap water but that would be a big set back what would you reccommend?
    help!!!!!!! (ouch this hurts)

    I would honestly do the tap. Yes this could crash your tank.

    Okay I only put it in yesterday as I like to let my water set in the mixing can for 48 hour's so I have another day to get water for this. Hopefully I wont have to do it with tap. The Diatom's will retun. Here the last few month's if it is'nt one thing it is another. I guess we all have bad streak's...Hope it is not just me....LOL
