The powder isn't easy to work with, can you get PraziPro where you're located?

If not, @Jay Hemdal knows the proper way to work with the powder.

Good luck!

YOU WILL HAVE TO DISSOLVE THIS VERY WELL. ~2.5 mg per liter (or about 10.2 mg per US gallon

That's about 43 milligrams assuming the tank holds around 4.5 gallons. That's a really small amount, you would need a good gram scale to weight that out.

The calculation is this: 2.5 mg (the dose) multiplied by the net volume of the tank (4.5 gallons) divided by 264 = grams to use (in this case, 0.043 grams, or 43 milligrams).
