Additives

[keiths]

On a lot of additives and other things I put in the tank it says something like:

AquaSafe should be used when setting up a new aquarium and with every partial water change or evaporation replacement.

Add one teaspoon (5 ml) for every 10 gallons of water. Top of bottle cap can be used for measuring. Fill to inner ring/line to treat 10 gallons or use one full capful per 20 gallons.

Does this mean if I do a partial water change, do I replace it with enough for the whole tank or just for how much of the water I replaced.

Ex.. I have a 55 gallon and I only change say 25%. That's about 14 gallons of water, so do I add enough of the additive for 14 gallons of water or the whole 55 gallons?

Thank you, that's what I thought and made the most sense to me but none of the bottles are very clear about it.

however on something like plant food, treat for the whole tank.
