Troubleshooting
Cloudy water after application
This is normal initially as the bacteria colonize. Ensure proper aeration. Wait for up to a week for clarity to improve. If it doesn't, check dosage and water conditions.
Algae blooms persist
The product supports a balanced ecosystem. Reduce nutrient input (e.g., from overfeeding fish). Consider additional algae control measures if necessary.
Filter performance seems unchanged
Check your filter for blockages and ensure it's operating correctly. Give the product time to establish the biological activity.
Fish appear stressed
Check water parameters (ammonia, nitrite, pH). Perform a partial water change if necessary and ensure adequate oxygen levels.
