well Dinkins would say 62.5 mL per day. as to how to dose, I haven't in a while, but would turn off the skimmer and drop it right over the powerhead to mix it through the tank. wait about 30 minutes before turning the skimmer back on. not sure dosing at night vs day but pods are more active at night.
I'm not running my skimmer yet what I normally have been doing is turning the pump off for 15 minutes and letting it just circle around the display tank.

I had a very tragic situation with a family member . She was attacked and is still in a coma . Sorry I haven't been around . I’m still not ok with it . Just thought I would poke in to see how everyone is doing .
