SarayParay Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Good evening! I am horrible with mathematics and solving or trying to figure out the measurements... Can someone help me? I have Fritz Pro Aquatics A.C.C.R. It says 1 teaspoon treats 40 gallons. I have 10 gallons. Can someone assist me in trying to figure it out or direct me? I used to use the liquid kind, but decided to get the dry stuff. Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 So it would be a quarter teaspoon. Like breaking up a dollar, 4 quarters=1 dollar. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 You might have to consider your substrate volume too I've never used ACCR so not sure if you can overdose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to continue reading about A.C.C.R. I don't want to mess up my tank. This 10 gallon has been my death tank and I barely have a few months with everyone still alive. Sorry, I am horrible with numbers! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarayParay Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 I wanted to add another question, if I have the other liquid kind, Seachem Prime should I just use that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Yes 1.25 mg is correct. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Well just doing very QUICK research they do similar things BUT I see ACCR claims not to deplete oxygen levels which is beneficial as overuse of Prime (which I use and have never had issue with) CAN do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 What seems to be the issue in your tank? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 In reading the ACCR dosage page on Fritz's website a quarter teaspoon aka 1.25mg is probably fine as it says you can dose up to 5x the dosage to remove greater ammounts of ammonia than 1.0ppm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have written down the measurements. I appreciate your help! I have 3 Cherry Barbs, 3 Panda Corys and 1 Fake Julii Corydora and 1 zebra loach that eats the mystery snails. The issue I had in the 10 gallon tank in my living room was nitrates. I believe I had it overstocked as I had 1 betta and a few more Panda Corys. My nitrates kept going high. So instead of replacing the fish the kept dying, I just didn't. So i have had this lot for a few months now... water parameters have been great and I just added a plant. I didn't have any plants in this tank because they would die. So I do a water change ever week. So I am happy it's been a few months now that the levels are good and the fish are thriving and happy from what I can see. So I was just nervous to change from Fritz Complete to the ACCR. I ran out last night when I did my water change on my other two tanks. I hope I made sense! Edited July 4, 2021 by SarayParay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Ah yes, sounds like you got your bioload issue straightened out for now. Sorry you had those losses. Hopefully from this point forward you won't have anymore problems. Adding plants always helps that. 🙂 You are welcome for the help. When you're ready you should post pics! 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
