Mode of action: 1.\nVarious green and filamentous algae will be greatly reduced, algae growth on\naquarium panes will be retarded. The introduced bacteria are in competition\nwith the algae mentioned. 2. Nitrate and phosphate compounds decrease. The\nbacteria take up nitrate and phosphate compounds as food and are digested by\ncorals, respectively separated by a skimmer or filter at the end of their\nlives. 3. Corals and fish get more vital. The bacteria and the other contents\nsupplement the defenses and reduce the risk of deseases esp. of Vibrio\ninfections. 4. The aquarium appears much cleaner and organic detritus \/ duff\nis significantly reduced. The bacteria can use the detritus \/ duff as food.\nNon-pathogenic bacteria for humans and the environment. Doesn't contain any\ntoxic materials. No overdosing possible! The product is not suitable for human\nconsumption! Avoid eye contact! Keep away from children! Application: For the\ninitial application we recommend a so-called \"shock vaccination\" (scoop\nincluded in the scope of delivery), which will effectively and quickly lead to\na desired positive outcome: For aquariums from 500 to 1,000 liters (132 to 264\nUSgal.): 10 ml (0.33 fl.oz) per week (equivalent to 4 measuring spoons) for a\nperiod of 2 weeks. For aquariums from 100 to 500 liters (26 to 132 USgal.): 5\nml (0.17 fl.oz) per week (equivalent to 2 measuring spoons) for a period of 2\nweeks. For aquariums from 30 to 100 liters (8 to 26 USgal.): 2.5 ml (0.08\nfl.oz) per week (equivalent to 1 measuring spoons) for a period of 2 weeks.\nDuring the dosing, we recommend temporarily stopping the existing mechanical\nfilter system and sea water skimming for 10 minutes, and to inject the dose\ndirectly into the aquarium biotope. Normal dosage after the first vaccination:\nFor aquariums from 500 to 1,000 liters (132 to 264 USgal.): 2,5 ml per week\n(equivalent to 1 measuring spoon). For aquariums from 30 to 500 liters (26 to\n132 USgal.): 1.25 ml per week (equivalent to 1\/2 measuring spoon).
