There is dosing instructions on my website at:
http://www.oceanfreshaquarium.com/foz-down.html

This product can remove Phosphate very quickly so you need to not overdo it and give the corals time to adapt to the lower Phosphate levels in your tank.

I personally use the "don't care and don't do anything option" as I view the flocs as completely inert. I clean the detritus out and do regular water changes but that's it as far as flocs go.

For those choosing to try to remove them I have 5 micron 4" filter socks available.
Tim, I didn't see the filter socks on your site. I'm using Foz and I love it. Maybe PM me the price? For the filter socks. Thanks

You're right Ryan. Very bottom of Foz Down page if anyone else is blind like me LOL

To OP. I've always had high PO4 and low to zero NO3. I got a bottle and I dose 5 drops every other day directly into my tank in front of the overflow. PO4 went down slowly and just yesterday tested it on Hanna ULR and it read 0. Stuff works good.
