To prevent overdose, it is very important to calculate the exact volume of aquarium water.
In case of heavy infestations and outbreaks use up to 6ml Dino X per 100 L (26 gal).
High performance skimmer is recommended.

Notes
Dino X is NOT a treatment for cyano bacteria.
When used correctly, Dino X is harmless to inverts and fish. Should always be dosed in the evening or 1 hour AFTER main lighting has shut off.
Photosynthesis of Zooanthellae algae is discontinued, ultimately allowing for optimal effect of Dino X Main lighting phase should be no longer than 6 hours daily.
Set skimmer to skim wet and run 24/7.
Water parameters can be adjusted with Balling Light or lime water. These do not affect Dino X performance.
Pre-mixed Ca, Alk, Mg, solutions should be used with caution as these often contain additional trace elements.
