I need help figuring out how to measure out the MicroBactor 7 for a 47 gallon tank. I don’t know why I’m confused with understanding the directions on the bottle.
 
5mL per 25gal according to this https://www.brightwellaquatics.com/products/microbacter7t.php
(For Medium- to High-nutrient Systems, or to seed Biological Filtration in new aquaria)

So 47gal ÷ 25gal • 5mL = 9.4mL.

It's a bottled bacteria product, so it will only contain organics, ammonia/nitrite/nitrate, phosphate, and inactive bacteria. Even dosing more would not cause a catastrophy. The bacteria population (if this product is even actually effective in adding bacteria) will regulate itself according to the available nutrients in the tank, so excessively added bacteria will simply die.
 
I do capful per 25gals.
