StevesFishTanks Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 I had a little spoon that my friend gave me a long time ago. He said it came with some medication or powder of some form. Anyway it was the perfect size for 10 gallons. So when I was using safe I would just scoop as many times as I needed to in multiples of 10 gallons at a time.

Guppysnail Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Safe is like prime and safe at higher doses so if you are a bit over it’s ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
