Slurry Dilution GuideUpdated a month ago

The aF4 operates using RSW technology and as such we HIGHLY recommend diluting your food with high salinity salt water only! If you choose to dilute with freshwater - utilize position 3 or higher on the temperature settings.

We recommend diluting your reservoir with a minimum of 20-30mL of high salinity saltwater - there is NO harm in filling the reservoir to the max fill line with dilution and this may aid in situations where the reservoir is running dry before using all the food.

The majority of cubed food is made using fish food items and some reverse osmosis water. Therefore, when diluting cubed foods - overcompensating with high salinity salt water (1.026 to 1.030) will help you achieve a slurry that is not in danger of freezing over.

When using the snowflake setting, be sure to use high salinity water for dilution, using freshwater on the snowflake setting will likely result in the reservoir freezing solid and causing a failure to feed.
