How to use

Add the calculated dose directly to the aquarium water. Repeat this dose every three days until the algae growth is visibly controlled. Siphon or scrape away any dead algae after treatment. — Treat Initial Algae Growth
Once algae is under control, switch to a weekly maintenance dose of the same amount to prevent algae from returning and keep your aquarium clear. — Establish Maintenance Dosing
