When water is circulated with a centrifugal pump, such as with an upweller, add in front of the pump intake and the pump will disperse the algae cells.
-
When feeding into open tanks or header tanks, pre-dilute the algae 10:1 with system water.
Add system water to a small bucket.
Add Shellfish Diet 1800 and stir.
DO NOT BLEND; it is unnecessary and may damage the algae cells.
Pour into larvae tank or spat.
Pouring through a 20€“micron screen can improve dispersion.
