Oracle 721 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 The ParaCleanse 100 gram container comes with a scoop and the directions state to dose 1 scoop per 10 gallons. I filled the scoop to the top thinking that was 1 dose but that looked a little too much to me. The scoop has a line about half way around the cup, is that where I should have filled it to get 1 dose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would consult to make sure. I’m paranoid though so 🤷♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought it from Aquarium Co-Op sometime ago to have on hand so I'll contact them if I don't hear from anyone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the bulk Paracleanse, but I do have the bulk Maracyn, and it calls for one level scoop. One thing to note on the scoops, is that companies buy the scoops from manufacturers that have scoops for various volumes, and they may have other markings on them for multiple-use customers.

Oracle 721 Posted August 27, 2021 Author Share Posted August 27, 2021 I was at the LFS today and saw a box of ParaCleanse which gave me the idea to test if one packet would fill the scoop from the bulk container to the top or to the line/separation which would determine what makes a scoop of ParaCleanse. Since 1 packet = 1 dose for 10 gallons and 1 scoop = 1 dose for 10 gallons the amount of ParaCleanse would be the same. I emptied 1 packet into the scoop and it only filled the scoop to the line/ separation, not even close to the top. They both should equal 1 gram per dose. I got waaaaaay to much time on my hands.😁 Peace, Rich 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume giving too little Paracleanse would be inadequate to do the job. I wonder if dosing too high would be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
