Since you should be performing water changes weekly you'll want to get a whole bottle soon. ^_^ [hr width='40%'] "Ah, yes," said the toad. "You've got Nac Mac Feegles!"

houston Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003	So Tim what you are trying to tell is is just less than a 1/4 tsp = 1 ml? I'll keep that in mind, and next time I'm trying to treat a tank that gives me something like this and I need to break it down, I'm calling you...heidi EDIT: So how many oz = ml? that was the last one I had to try and figure out...use 2 oz to treat 250 gallons of water...Ok I have a 125, and the measurements provided are in ml...:%) talk about insane:%) Heidi Last edited by heidi at 30-Mar-2005 22:28 "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom."

sham Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3369 Kudos: 2782 Votes: 98 Registered: 21-Apr-2004	I use an extra vial from my test kit. I have some square ones from a nitrate test that marks off every ml and a solid line around at 5ml and 10ml. Much better than using measuring spoons. 1oz=30ml When in doubt I load google and type in convert and the 2 things I want like "convert oz ml"

The cups that come with cough syrup hold a max of 30 ml, next time your at the drug store, ask for one of those little cups- theyll give you one, they come in handy- then mark it for fish!
