Directions for Use:
Use several times each week.

Shake well, then soak any type of freeze-dried or frozen food in 0.5 ml of Selcon in plastic cup. After soaking, fill cup with water so that contents can be poured directly into aquarium. Water will temporarily cloud, benefiting all filter feeding invertebrates for several hours.

Feed 1.0 ml to a portion of live brine shrimp (aerate heavily) to enhance their nutritional value, then wait 12 hours before releasing brine shrimp into aquarium.

For invertebrate/reef aquariums, add 0.5 ml per 50 gallons of water.
