Do not use in anything but an invertebrate only tank

Prepping for In-Bag Long Term Feeding

Soak tea bags in RO / RODI water with an airstone for 7-10 days. Change out the water every 2-3 days during this time period. Lightly squeeze out excess water at the end of the duration. Afterwards, bags are ready to use for tanks. You’ll also feel the biofilm growing on the bags when you remove them. Bags will most likely have a pungent smell, but that’s part of the fun 😂

For Aging During Cycling

When cycling or preparing a tank with no livestock, use 5 grams(1 bag) per 10 gallons laid out in a pile on top of substrate. Set sponge filter nozzle above the water level to cause the water to bubble like a bubble bath. Recommended to keep the water line about 2.5-3” below the top of the tank. Sponge filter will also get clogged. This is all normal. Let the tank sit for at least 4 weeks for the active ingredient to wear off and for the tank to mature. If the bag floats, gently squeeze to release air (squeezing too hard may pop the bag and make a mess). Biofilm growth will be noticeable around the tank and on the content itself.

Preservation and storage

Store unused bags in a dry/dark place to maximize their shelf life (2 years).
