How to Use
Recommended dosage: 10 drops per 100 L (27 US gal) of aquarium water every other day for an aquarium with average coral stocking.
- Shake the product as appropriate before dosing.
- Dose 10 drops per 100 L (27 US gal) directly into the aquarium.

Dosing Tip
Every aquarium is different, and the ideal dosage depends on the coral population and system conditions.
When introducing AF Phyto Mix, start with ½ of the recommended dose, or even ¼, and observe the corals. If there are no signs of overfeeding, gradually increase the dosage toward the recommended level.
For improved nutrient absorption, it is recommended to switch off the protein skimmer for approximately one hour during feeding.
