The 700 g (1.5 lbs.) can of Carbo-Calcium Powder is sufficient for 1.3 gal. liquid solution, the 1400 g (3 lbs.) can for 2.6 gal. liquid solution. To prepare the liquid mineral mixture, dissolve 6 level scoops (approx. 140 g) of Carbo-Calcium Powder in approx. 900 ml of reverse osmosis water, resulting in a total of 1 l of dosing solution. Start with a daily dose of 5 ml of Carbo-Calcium per 26 gal of aquarium system volume. Increase the daily dosage weekly by 2.5 ml per 26-gal aquarium volume until you reach constant alkalinity and calcium concentrations. Once the dosage is established, and the system parameters are stable, measuring either calcium or alkalinity, on a regular basis will monitor your systems changes and needed dosage adjustments. The corresponding parameter only needs to be monitored periodically. We recommend not to exceed a daily dose of 25 ml of Carbo-Calcium per gal of aquarium volume.
If the product gets into your eye please rinse consistently with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if wearing and continue rinsing.

Currently I am using calcium sand. It doesn’t seem to be effecting Ash at all. Should I continue to use the sand or get something else such as eco earth?
Trying to treat betta for Popeye otherwise healthy happy and active. Moved from five to three gallon filtered heated tanks. Feed freeze dried blood worms, daphnia and bug bites by fluval. Also am changing some if not all water every few days. Treated with kanaplex several doses no real improvement. Switzed to metroplex in water treatment as I don't know how food treatment works or how to dose started four doses two days apart and there is some improvement to the eyes. Med is miconidazole.
Hello! Things didn’t go so well with cichlids and I only have one remaining which I moved to a different tank. The 45 is now empty and the others besides one blue African cichlid has died. I did water tests and most came out fine except the Carbonate hardness which was at a 40. (That’s bad as far as I know if you could clarify that would be great) but I have a goldfish that would do great in there but I’m very attached and I don’t want anything to happen to him as well any idea of what I can do?
I’m trying to cycle a 10 gal fish tank. I have been adding your biological booster for a month now and nothing is happening. The ammonia is holding steady at .5 ppm and I’m not seeing any nitrites. Is there a way I can test to see if there are actually live bacteria in the booster. I’ve checked everything else I can think of.
tony takes tumil k supplement, in total two & one half pills / day & they are huge, so I cut them up which equals 6 pieces in the AM & 4 pieces in the PM.(He also takes amlodipine every 8 hrs & methimazole every 12 hrs) the issue is the tumil k. even cut up they’re big pieces. Is there some other form other than pill for a potassium supplement? I’ve tried the powder,he needs so much of it that it’s very overpowering mixed in his wet food &he wont eat it. I hide the pills in treats but still Hard

I've been giving my guinea pigs this for a supplement and it's been working great. When I got Sebastian he was 3 months so I only did 16 drops, but Sincestian is now 8 months I was thinking putting the full dose of 32 drops in the water. But Cosmo is only five months. If I went to 32 drops would it be bad for Cosmo? I do have two water bottles but they share everything so either way he will drink the other bottle.
