Good Morning ! How long after dosing do I wait before I can test again? Sorry for my impatience but just "had" to know instead of reading a bunch of articles. Thanks !

Thanks ! I was being seriously impatient. I tested about an hour after dosing. I'll test again tomorrow but just had to know ! I did reach the levels I wanted without adding too much.

You need to wait for the dose to mix in, which depends entirely on the system. In a sumpless system with good flow it might be only a couple of minutes. In an extended sump system, it could take a long time.

Think of the dose like food coloring. As soon as the whole system was one shade of color, you are good to test. :)
