![]() I was told to use about a 1/4 amount than what is recommended on the bottle. I used to get a patch of cyano after every dose. But since I followed the advice i've had no more problems.

![]() +1, I found that if you dosed the recommended, it was too much. I personally go with approx. 70% of what the recommendation is.

![]() Yeah, I suppose it's a better idea to start with a 1/2 or even 1/4 dosage. I would try to ramp it up though as long as you don't experience any cyano or algae issues. Personally I am using the full dosage of Vitalizer, Sponge Power, and Amino Acids on 3 systems with no issues and dramatic positive effects. I personally think it's important to achieve and maintain very low nutrients before and while using any coral foods or amino acids or you're asking for algae and cyano. Just my opinion.

![]() Thanks again for the replies. Next time I'm in cowtown or Lethbridge I think I'll pick up some small bottles and give it a try.
