Good luck. **Q: Is this 2 8oz bottles? 1 16oz bottle? 2 16oz bottles?** A: Use 3 ml only **Q: How much does 16 ounces treat?** A: Add 10 ml. per 10 gallons of aquarium water. There are 29.574 milliliters per oz. So math says roughly 47.31 gallons can be treated with 16oz. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great item *by C***N on 13 March 2026* It works ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome *by A***R on 15 January 2024* Great buy for the orice ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quick arrival *by W***Y on 4 November 2023* Needed it for starting up a 75 gallon aquarium with a canister filter.
