Use dosing cap on bottle. As a disease or wound treatment for marine fish and corals in the aquarium, remove activated carbon and turn off protein skimmer. Shake well. Dose 5 ml per 10 gallons (38 L) of aquarium water daily for 7 days. After 7 days, perform a 25% water change. Replace activated carbon and turn on protein skimmer. The protein skimmer will collect excess foam, which should be disposed. It may be necessary to turn down your protein skimmer for a few days until foaming subsides. As a coral dip, corals may be treated in small containers, then placed in the aquarium. Shake well, and dose 20 ml per ½ gallon (2 L) of aquarium water. Make sure the water temperature, pH, and salinity are correct. Place the coral in the water for 3-5 minutes. Shake corals under water to help dislodge worms. After a maximum treatment time of 5 minutes, place corals into the aquarium.
