You have to use this with great care as too fast a phosphate drop is stressful to corals and it might chock the gills of fishes. Mostly use with a fine micro sock filter to filter it out.

Yeah I heard of that. Where do people get the pool cleaners from though? Many of them also don't specify a dosage, merely stating that it's for x number of gallons of water
