1 measure spoon per 100 l (27 US gal) of water.
Fill a small container with approx. 20 ml of aquarium water, add a spoon of Ricco Food and mix for one minute.
Pour the suspension directly into the tank or use the pipette to feed selected corals. Use at least once a week.
In well-planted, mature aquariums the product can be used more often, even daily.
All powdered foods have a recommended dosage of 1 measure spoon per 100 l of water, though, it’s important that each aquarium is different and the dosage may vary depending on the coral cast.
Aquaforest recommend starting dosing foods and supplements from half of the dose (even ¼) and observing the corals and their reactions to the administered food.
Once the aquarium shows no sign of overdose, we recommend increasing dosage to the target dose.
Corals such as Zoanthus, Ricordea and other mushroom corals should be fed during the day.
In order to facilitate the food absorption, SPS and LPS corals should be fed after the light is out.
In order to ensure the best nutrients absorption, all supplements and foods for corals should be dispensed directly into the aquarium.
During the feeding we recommend switching off the skimmer for about an hour.
