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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A nice price for a good product *by W***H on May 30, 2023* This works great and great price ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great item *by C***N on March 13, 2026* It works ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quick arrival *by W***Y on November 4, 2023* Needed it for starting up a 75 gallon aquarium with a canister filter.
