Remove activated carbon and turn off protein skimmer.

Shake Well.

Corals may be treated in small containers, and then placed in the aquarium.

Shake Well.

Dose:

Add 20 ml per 1/2 U.S. gallon (2 L) of aquarium water. Make sure the water temperature, pH, and salinity are correct. Place the coral in the water for 3-5 minutes.
