• Does not destabilize the aquarium system.
• DINO X is not a treatment for Cyanobacteria.

Manufacturer’s Recommended Dosing:

• 5 ml Dino X per 100 L (26 gal) of aquarium water
• To prevent overdose, it is very important to calculate the exact volume of aquarium water.
• For heavy infestations and outbreaks, up to 6ml Dino X per 100 L (26 gal) can be dosed.
• A high performance skimmer is recommended.
• Dosage should be repeated every 2 days until algae is completely eliminated.
• A general treatment period cannot be given due to many variables.
• Dinoflagellates can usually be treated with 10 doses.
• Other algae can be treated with about 15 doses.

• Do not use ozone or carbon during treatment period.
• Discontinue any kind of absorbing media such as GFO and PO4 removers.

DO NOT OVERDOSE – measure total system water volume as exactly as possible, accounting for water displacement from rocks, sand, ect.

Special Notes & Recommendations

• Dino X is NOT a treatment for cyano bacteria.
• When used correctly, Dino X is harmless to inverts and fish.
• Dino X 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
