Special Notes & Recommendations

• Dino X is NOT a treatment for cyano bacteria.
• When used correctly, Dino X is harmless to inverts and fish.
• Dino X should always be dosed in the evening or 1 hour AFTER main lighting has shut off.
• Photosynthesis of Zooanthellae algae is discontinued, ultimately allowing for optimal effect of Dino X. Main lighting phase should be no longer than 6 hours daily.
• Set skimmer to skim wet and run 24/7.
• Water parameters can be adjusted with Balling Light or lime water. These do not affect Dino X performance.
• Pre-mixed Ca, Alk, Mg, solutions should be used with caution as these often contain additional trace elements.
