Dosage Instructions
Add 10 mL per 100L (26 gallons) daily or as needed.
Dose directly to a refugium or high-flow area for best results.
Dosage Calculator
Heavy dosing can cause pH swings at night if the cells remain uneaten, as well as cause protein skimmers to overflow rapidly. If you notice any of these occurring, dose a little less until the problem resolves.
