IS IT ONE DROP PER GALLON OR 4 DROPS PER GALLON
Answer by • Jun 08, 2019
It's recommended to add 4 drops of solution per gallon of aquarium water to achieve an ammonia-nitrogen (NH3-N) concentration of 2 mg/L-N (2 ppm).
My reef tank will be 88 gallon with a 24 gal sump. How much ammonia should I use? Would I dose a tablespoon plus a teaspoon? I see that would be equal to 400 drops. Correct?
Answer by • May 27, 2020
It is recommended to use 4 drops of solution per gallon. 1 drop equals 0.05 ml so this 2 ounce bottle will treat 300 gallons (1,135 liters), one time to a concentration of 2 mg/L TAN. For an 88 gallon tank, you'd need to dose approximately 352 drops which would be equivalent to a tablespoon and 1/2 teaspoon.
Some helpful conversions are below:
1 drop equals 0.05 ml
1 ml equals 20 drops
1 teaspoon equals about 5 ml which is 100 drops
1 tablespoon equals almost 15 ml which is 300 drops
