Make sure you follow the instructions.
Powder that's in the pill goes in not the pill.
Turn off list for 4 weeks.
No water change
No Skimmer
No UV
No carbon
No filter socks or media
Feed fish only what you see goes in to their mouth and none to the sand. Feed every other day or 3 days.
Keep GFO running and Ozone if you used it.
After 4 weeks water change of 30% at least and again a week later same amount. Keep your feeding every other day or less and only what you see they eat.
Post your before and after pics for reference for yourself so you can see what it did and how fast it did it if you stick to the plan.
