How to mix

One bottle, straight into the tank.

Add it at the rate above, in millilitres per litre of water, and stir. The pH holds steady, so it should need little adjustment.

Add products one at a time, stirring between each. Never mix concentrates neat.

Measure every dose. Eyeballing is where most feed problems start.

Keep the tank covered. Light in stored solution eventually means algae.

Use IONIC Tonic only where there is a recognised need: 0.5 ml per litre for one week.
