Hydor comes in pack of 3 in a box. 1 pack dissolve in 1/2 gallon of water.

Ezclean in powder form. 6 spoonful in 1/2 liter of water.

I used hydor 1 pack and dissolved in 1/2 liter of water as i was afraid 1/2gallon would be too dilute and unable to remove the coralline algae.

After submerging my 1st vortech pump for 2hrs as recommended, I tried using a brush to remove the coralline algae and only the surface of the algae can be scrubbed . But a thick layer of algae remained.

The pump was submerged for another 2hrs and the algae did not budge. I poured away the old solution and make a new solution with a new pack, with more water this time.

But after few hrs, nothing changed. I gave up. Took the pump and used my finger nails to manually remove as much algae as possible.

This is the remaining algae on the 1st vortech.

Then my 2nd vortech pump got the bath.

I got the ezclean. This Within 1/2hr, u see a layer of foam on the surface of the solution. Took out the pump and using my thumb to rub the coralline algae. It came off like buttercream. Continued to soak the pump for an hour. This is how the pump looked.

Ezclean took little time to remove the coralline algae and using a brush, it's as easy as brushing toothpaste off the teeth.
