Directions

  1. Turn off UV sterilisers and ozone generators. Remove activated carbon and other chemical filter media. Keep mechanical and biological filtration running, and keep aeration strong.
  2. Dissolve the tablets fully in a cup of tank water before adding them.
  3. Freshwater: 1 tablet per 40 litres. Fish-only marine: 1 tablet per 160 litres. The marine dose is lower because trichlorfon is more toxic at a higher pH.
  4. Fish lice and gill flukes: repeat the dose after 7 days.
  5. Anchor worms: repeat every 5 days until the adult parasites have dropped off.
  6. Coldwater tanks: repeat every 12 days.

Keep the temperature around 25°C and the pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Do not treat if the temperature is above 27°C to 28°C.

A small amount of cellulose may remain after a tablet dissolves. Results may show within 48 to 72 hours.

Always follow directions on product packaging.
