For best results, dose slowly into the protein skimmer intake only. Alternatively, the product can be dosed into a filter sock or other mechanical filtration to help capture phosphate precipitate. Dosing via an automated doser should be handled carefully to ensure accuracy, and that the amount dosed does not exceed the daily maximum.\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDOSING INSTRUCTIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse an accurate testing kit to determine phosphate concentration in your tank.
