I've read different ratios, one of which is 2 tspns/gallon for theraputic purposes and 1 tspn/gallon as a preventive measure.

[Giddy]

ok, that is a very low ratio. How long have you been using it this way?


For goldfish use,



.1% is a low dose tonic for new additions, nitrite tolerance, etc and is basically one teaspoon for every gallon. .3% is for parasite treatments and fungus, which is 3 teaspoons per gallon, or one tablespoon. .5% would be for salt dips and such.

I will do more research on it, thanks for the info Steve.
