Directions
Feed 2 to 3 times a week, depending on how much coral you keep. Mix 1 teaspoon with a cup of aquarium water for every 400 litres. In a nano tank, use 1/4 teaspoon per 100 litres. Stir it into an even paste.
Target feeding:
- Turn off wavemakers, the return pump, and other circulation.
- Draw the mix into a syringe, pipette, or baster.
- Squirt it onto the polyps.
- Leave the pumps off for 10 to 15 minutes, then turn them back on.
Broadcast feeding for a packed SPS tank: pour the mix into a high-flow area with the return pump running.
You can add PolypLab Polyp-Booster 1 to 5 minutes before feeding.
Always follow directions on product packaging.
