Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the Plankton Elixir, shake the bottle well to ensure that the concentrated zooplankton particles are evenly distributed. Start with a conservative dose to monitor how your aquarium inhabitants respond. The product is compatible with all marine, coral reef, and shrimp tanks. Keep the bottle tightly sealed and store it in a cool, dark place or in the refrigerator once opened to ensure the stability of the omega-3 fatty acids and carotenoids.
