1 pill should be effective up to 400G

if you could just throw in the whole pill because the active ingredient might not be evenly distributed on the pill and it doesnt hurt if you over dose. i use to use 1 pill everytime on my 120 i did loose all my shrimps

Alright think like an ancient pharmacist. Grind it in mortar and pestle if you have it. You can also use the ziplock freezer bags and a heavy stone or pan. Grind it super fine and add whatever melevsreef.com tells you to. I would go double if you have lots. No worries man I've triple dosed and never did the water change. Corals looked better. This was in my 90 gallon as well. I used 1/3 of a pill each time.

Can we say no red bugs, and the only thing I've noticed that has die off are the pods although I see a few around.

Happens like that, but trust me those redbugs within a few hours are good and dead. They get paralyzed about 2 hours in, then the current sweeps em off.

I personally like to take a baster and hit the base of trouble spots. Just in case one lil monkey wants to do a zombie dance. This makes certain it goes into the sock and is out in the wash the next day.

Congrats! Be sure to keep a second dose handy in case they ever come back again!
