Thaw and strain frozen food. Add 1 scoop focus + 1 scoop Metroplex to 1 tablespoon frozen food. I use a few drops of selcon and garlic guard as well to help dissolve the meds and mask the taste.

It is safe to use in a DT. However only feed enough food that it's eaten. Also it's not a bad idea to run carbon while feeding food soaked meds just in case some medication enters the water column.

As my DT doesn’t have coral. Can I pack into a cube and let it thaw by itself in DT before go to work?

It won't bind to a frozen cube. You can throw a cube in the fridge and let it thaw. Then strain and add meds.

How long does it need to be fully soaked. With that amount of foods, how long it can be stored in the fridge after soaked. Can I leave soaked foods in a cup with all medicAtion or it need to stay dried????

Use the recipe above. You can leave in fridge for 3-5 days. Then toss and make new if there is leftover.
