This bacterium is incredibly hardy and adaptable, and doesn't necessarily need to be acclimated. Just pour the doses right into an area of high flow in the main tank. It'll act as a probiotic if you put it directly into prepared foods. If you're feeding live zooplankton (especially day-old brine shrimp) you can gutload them with PNS ProBio along with the phyto in a gallon of tankwater w aeration 1 hr before using (pour whole thing into the tank). One more suggestion... I would soak at least one PNS ProBio dose into a loose aquarium sponge and just drop it into the sump (low-flow area); this should help to establish and maintain a large anaerobic population. As far as the phyto... that shouldn't need to be acclimated either! Watch the skimmer though and adjust if it appears to be removing either product.Question is if the live products should be acclimated before adding. I will be dosing my second PNSPROBIO and Phyto since 30 days. I currently have a 18month mix reef —bare bottom 400g system due to high flows and eliminate detritus, thus keeping nutrients in suspension till consumed or skimmed. GHA is losing its grip and Pho4 still >1 and N03 <5. Cyano is increasing in refugium due to metabolic imbalances. I remain hopeful for SPS health as some colonies have been pailing then browning with ULNS.
