Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / June 2005Amquel - how much to put in
Ok, here is a dumb question for you. The direction on amquel says 1 tsp per 10 gallon water. I have a 60 gallon tank and if I replace 30 gallons for water change, do I add 3 tsp for 30 gallons being replaced or full 6 tsp again for 60 gallons? I've been adding 6 tsp each time and just realized that it may be more than necessary and could be harmful. Thank you for any advice. Nona You would treat for the amount of water you are replacing, thus it would be the 3 tsp for the 30 gallons. If you tapwater comes in with ammonia, and many do, you could add more to compensate. Lilly I have a 60 gallon tank and if I replace 30 gallons for water change, do I add 3 tsp for 30 gallons being replaced or full 6 tsp again for 60 gallons? It depends on how you are adding the water back to your tank. If you are preconditioning in buckets, then just treat for the amound being replaced. If you are using a python and adding water directly to your tank then you need to treat for the entire tank volume (60 gallons in your case) Maria Why would you double-treat? That seems like overkill. I sometimes get lazy and treat in tank. Squirt the appropriate amount into a corner and fill the tank in that corner. Never any problems.
