Dosing
The maker doses this by schedule rather than by a fixed potency, so the calculator cannot use it. Follow the directions below.
How it’s used
Daily dose by tank age per 100 L: 0-1 yr up to 0.25 ml; 1-2 yr up to 0.5 ml; >2 yr 0.5-1 ml. Start with PO4 0.02-0.1 mg/L; may raise 0.25 ml every 2 weeks. Dose into strong flow at lights-on.
Cautions
• Never exceed 1 ml per 100 L per day
• If water clouds after an increase, return to the previous dose
• Use Plus-NP if PO4 is too low, Elimi-NP if PO4 is higher
