    The difference between a medicine and a poison is the dose!

    May be harmful to fish, and particularly invertebrates, if overdosed. Depends on the level of overdosing - slight is likely ok, heavy is not (e.g. doubling the dose - although I know some hobbyists do it).

    If you overdose you could also increase the likelihood of algae bloom.

    Seachem's site is brilliant. It has great Q & A and their tech support reply within 24hrs, to answer all such product questions.

    If in doubt check them out.
