Please note that the product is intended to PREVENT algae blooms, so using it to eliminate large outbreaks in your tank will likely take several weeks to see significant results. See dosing instructions for more information.

Light Growth/Preventative: Add 1 oz (30ml) for every 10 gallons, weekly or as needed.

Moderate Growth: 5ml Add 2 oz (60ml) for every 10 gallons, weekly for at least 4 weeks.

Tank Reset: Remove livestock, drain tank, apply directly to surface, let sit for at least 3 hrs. Clean filter, refill tank, increase aeration, add livestock.

For best results, use weekly and add solution during your water change. Mixing it into the water before adding back into the tank is a great way to ensure the product will be properly diluted. 

Spot treating hair algaes will produce faster results.

It's important not to overdue or rush the introduction of a new substance as we don't want to stress our your critters! If causing stress to your fish or shrimp is a concern, we encourage splitting the dosing in half and adding the product twice a week for a smoother introduction.

If results aren't performing as desired after a few weeks, rest easy and increase dosage to 10 ml for every 10 gallons as your fish and other critters have had time to acclimate.

Water, proprietary plant extract, malic acid, ascorbic acid.

Store in a cool dark place.
