Until I can answer that one question I can not give an amount as this has the potential to wipe out an entire tank.

It's the principles of liquid dilution.
I love chemistry lol

These 2 items were tested separately with 2 different results
So this is where I started the combination of the 2
It's a ratio and I have to find it to be safe

Is this a 1 time dose or multiday like metro?
Once I get the ratio right this will be a one day dose that I am thinking.
Now for the part about no flow areas within rock..
This is still a big problem but I have been working with no flow situations

So tea tree oil is the main ingredient which I have considered before among other natural anti-microbes. Do you have fish in the tank treated or just coral?

Well one way around that is more ph during treatment. Everyone has a few laying around from qt tanks. It will only be temporary.

You can probably get around this issue by dosing at lights out so the dinos disperse into the water column if you are concerned about dinos hiding out where the medication won't reach. Not sure about the ones that hide inbetween the sand particles though.

I do have fish in the tank also
As of last night no losses I will have to look hard for pods as I don't have many to begin with.
