Use in aquarium keeping:
It is recommended that you turn off your protein skimmer and other filtration for 15 to 30 minutes prior to adding the Micro Blast to the aquarium.
Be careful when feeding liquid foods, not to overload the system.
Nitrite testing is recommended when feeding heavily.
It is recommended that you not add more than the recommended dosage of any food per day.
Continuum recommends that the hobbyist vary the types and sizes of foods delivered into the reef aquarium.
Other Continuum foods that make good choices for this food rotation include Coral Exponential, Phyto Blast, Zoo Blast and Ocean Snow.
Also, occasionally blending the foods and using them as soaks for other foods will give your invertebrates a variety simulating nature. Vary the time of day for feeding, as well, being sure to feed at night for those organisms that primarily feed nocturnally. Many corals feed primarily at night, extending their tentacles and mesentarial filaments, using their nematocysts to capture prey, and entrapping prey on their sticky tentacles with mucus and drawing it into their mouths.

Directions and protocol:
Shake well prior to use.
Add 1/2 capful (2.5 ml) per 50 US-gallons (200 L) of marine aquarium water 2 to 3 times per week, in an area of high flow. More may be added in heavily loaded systems.
May also be added at the rate of a few drops per gallon.

Expert use:
Target feeding is the best method of addition. Use a turkey baster, pipette, or similar tool to release upstream of animals to be fed.
Do not touch corals with tool.
Do not insert tool into this bottle, particularly do not allow aquarium water to enter the bottle, to do so will introduce bacteria into the product and accelerate its decomposition. Instead, pour appropriate amount of Micro Blast into a cup and use the tool in the cup.
Feed all that you pour and do not return any product to the container (to prevent contamination).

Caution:
Keep out of reach of children.
Not for human consumption.
If ingested drink water.
If in eyes flush with water.
