I was actually talking to my LFS about this the other day. I don't have any first hand experience on this one, but 1ml to 40L for about a week is supposed to be good. I don't know how its supposed to be dosed or whatever and I'd imagine it'd be really easy to overdose the tank.
Take that with a grain of salt, it's just what I heard.

What are you trying to dose for? Are you just cleaning your tank after breaking it down? Do you just have an algae problem?

rob7777 · Apr 27, 2014

The API Algeafix actually worked well for me in the past. If its not a full on bloom controlling
phosphates and nitrates is more sensible. Hydrogen Peroxide works but I didn't have good results
based on previous suggestions of dose rates. Some stuff receded for me... But I works well for a
dip for hard corals supposedly.

If you have an orp probe that would be beneficial as well.

rob7777 · Apr 27, 2014

Excuse my ignorance but what is a orp probe

ORP- Oxidation reduction potential

Dosing at 1ML per 10g of water. Or 1ML per 38Liters

What kinds of algae?

rob7777 · Apr 28, 2014

Green brown and red it's starting to cover my macro algae

If you can, take out problem rocks one at a time. Like weeks apart. Dose full strength on the algae careful not to get any on corals. Rinse rock in salt water & put it back. Algae will be gone with a day or2. If you have any skunk cleaner shrimp, they will die.
