I'm curious to know (it may have been mentioned but i have had a mind blank) does this product have a lifetime requirement or is it a program to build up a sustainable reproductive system and/or are there any side affects in coning off it so to speak

Another question - where in the tank are people dosing?
Pre-filter, post-filter or straight in the DT?
Or doesn't it matter where it goes in.

Will it matter if I dose the second lot Sunday instead of Tuesday? Sunday is easier to keep track of week by week than Tuesday is all. I can't see it being an issue, 5 days between 1 and 2 then 7 from there on out?

Straight into the display. Make sure you shake the bottle and dose at the beginning of your lighting cycle

No side effects. You an stop dosing Nualgi any time you like. However you will need to find some way of getting rid of nutrients in your tank - water changes, carbon dosing etc. Nualgi is an inexpensive solution - one weekly dose ($1 per week for 300 liter tank) that not only takes care of excess nutrients but makes live fish food (zooplankton) and keeps water clean and corals happy

hey, its not so much being expensive or not wanting to use it, it is more one of those questions people forget to ask or forget to get told, when i first started carbon dosing with the redsea (completely different method i know) i was not told it was carbon dosing i was told 'it gets rid of algae just dose daily'....then nekminit...algae farm after stopping it

She is right! doesn't smell great! lol...please take a look at our FAQs regarding the Cu question. We have over 3000 trialists in US - a lot of them with inverts...no negative report ...also lots of you tube coverage of tanks with inverts...
