Good morning :kana:

Ive purchased some medication to add to my garden pond (approx.950 gallons),but im not sure if i have the calculations right.
On the bottle it says "1ml per 4 gallons".......not sure if ive done it correct,but does this mean that for my pond,i have to add 256ml.??? :dunno:
It sounds rather a lot to me.
 
1ml per 4 gallons = 237.5
but is the volume of your pond in uk gallons
and is the medication in uk gallons?
 
whats the medication for ? i normally have to buy a couple for total treatment of pond ,if you dont wanna treat the whole pond do it as a dip by just making a few gallons,if you are gonna treat the whole pond dilute the medication first and add it slowly to avoid toxic shock :nod:
 
This can often be the problem with medicating whole ponds, you have to buy about five bottles of medicine :rolleyes: . If you are treating a single fish or a few fish this is where a smaller quarantine pond comes in very handy. :)
