Amquel
I used 128 grams of powder, mixed with water to fill a 16 fl oz container (so I could use 1 squirt per gallon). The container says 1gram/ 10 gallons

ClorAm-X
I want to create the same packets that can be mixed in the 16 fl oz container to equal 1 squirt per gallon...how many grams of powder? The container say's 1g treats 8.3gallons

Remember- I'm not mixing it with 16 fl oz of water, the powder takes up some space...

Gimmie a number or show me the method of calculation- please.

Or should I just do 150g bags and ASSume it's close enough?

[AndrewH]

let me get this straight...

128g in 16oz. = 1 squirt per gallon @ 1g/10gal

Xg in 16oz. = 1 squirt per gallon @ 1g/8.3gal


128 * 10 = 8.3 * X
1280 = 8.3X
1280 / 8.3 = 8.3X / 8.3
154.2168675 grams = X

[xtc]

is that your final answer? Looks reasonable- I was goin the wrong way on my guest-a-mation.

Skipps gunna love this one. :hehe:

[greeneyed]

I got 154.2 rounded to the tenth.

[AndrewH]

Yeah, I got 154.2168675 when I do it a different way...

1 gram A per 10 gal = 1.204819277 gram C per 10 gal

128 gram per squirt A = 154.2 gram per squirt C

I'm out on this one...:eek:

2?

[poel_19]

just do like three spoon fulls directly in the tank!!

[Haiven]

The algebra is fine, except I'm confused about the grammage after you get the answer!

Here's what I use:

1/8 tsp for 5 gal
1/4 tsp for 10 gal
1/2 tsp for 20 gal
3/4 tsp for 30 gal
1 tsp for 40 gal
2 tsp for 80 gal
2 1/2 tsp for 100 gal
3 tsp for 120 gal

[AndrewH]

1 oz = 28.34952 grams = 2 tablespoons = 6 teaspoons

tablespoon = big
teaspoon = little

**************************

4.515021 oz = 128 grams = 9.02042 tablespoons = 27.06126 teaspoons

**************************

5.439189 oz = 154.2 grams = 10.87838 tablespoons = 32.63513 teaspoons

Yall are making my head hurt!!

For reference, my dry Amqel+ says 1 tablespoon will treat 150 gallons of water. 1 cup (16 tablespoons) will treat 2,400 gallons and the entire can (1 kilo) will treat 10,000 gallons.

Ten percent of nuthin' is...let me do the math here...nuthin' into
nuthin'...carry the nuthin

:confuzeld:

Is this something they have over in Fort Worth?


tesspoon = little

I deal in squirts. :D

Yeah, they hand 'em out at the boarder. They look EXACTLY like a teaspoon, but DIFFERENT.

That's what I figured. Just have to know how many squirts equal 1 tablespoon to know that equals 150 gallons. 1 tablespoon in X oz of water = Y of squirts. If you get 200 squirts outta 16 oz, then 1 squirt = 200/150 = 0.75 gallons

Hmm... I missed your post Haiven. I just did the math on this and dry weight you are right.

I figured it out to be 9 cups in the tub, which treats ~18,278 gallons. Converted to teaspoons is 1tsp/42 gallons...

Now to figure out concentrated mix...:twitch:

[xtc]

Can we get a squirt conversion?! :D

[rolloffhill]

5lb tub = ~ 9 cups

9 cups = 432 tsp

1 cup = 48 tsp

1 cup treats ~ 2030 gallons

1 cup = 8 fl oz

Prime bottle treats 2500g and is 8.5 fl oz

Prime dose = 5ml/50g

So how big is your squirt...:hehe: Compare your squirt to 5ml and you should come close....

[arnold]

Can we get a squirt conversion?! :D

I squirt whenever I get a chance, never tride measuring or converting:leghump:

Works great for me:cs:

[ElijahTurtle]

LOL if y'all are lost on measurements & don't know how much you squirt, I've got a bunch of syringes I can give ya. Have a whole stash of them from the hospital. I use them for my water testing to get an accurate 5ml for the test & to thaw/feed frozen food cubes. Anything from 3ml to 60ml. I don't have any needles. LOL

[REYREY]

uhmmm i go with the 40gl per tablespoon mix...

I get around 8 oz bottle and mix into it 240 gls worth of chlorimax...then just use a capful for every 10 gls... works for me... no problems...

[rolloffhill]

Ok, so I mixed up the first batch of concentrate in the dispensing bottles. They are 32oz, with the math that I figured up above, I filled the bottle about 1/4 full with hot water, then used a funnel and put in 2 cups of Cloramax, then filled the rest with hot water.

The way I am figureing is 5ml for 42-50g. Since I am going to dose the whole tank everytime I am working on the 5ml/50g number.

So for my 215 with the sump safe number is 30ml but I think I could get away with 25.

These things are gonna come in handy for more than just cloramax too...;)

Good thing is, I don't have to calculate squirts....:hehe:

What kinda squirts are you talking about? roflmao

[rolloffhill]

Dammit, thanks for that....and YES I did edit it...:hehe:
