2. Rinse 50% of the appropriate amount of the contents of all packages, except for package "A," with cool, fresh water to remove any dust.

4. Place the filter bag into a canister filter (recommended) or fast-moving area of your filtration sump.
5. After 24 hours turn off UV filters and turn down your protein skimmer, so it does not foam over. Be sure to monitor your oxygen levels closely for any drop. Remedy if needed.
