Quick Question about Dr. Tims Waste Away

[Alcohol120]

I just got this stuff in the mail today. The directions say to dose 10mL per 10 gallons. Ive never dosed anything before and this is probably a silly question to most, but do i add this to SW when im doing a water change or can i just add it right into the display tank?
thanks

Dose right to your tank, IIRC you want to do a half dose the first time you are using it.

alright sounds good. *crosses fingers*

I would put it in your sump and let the return pump do its thing.

too late for that. i have about 50g of water total and i only put in 20 mL of the stuff. I was going to put it in the sump but then changed my mind when i thought about all the algae in the DT.

Whenever I dose anything I put it either into the overflow box or into the sump. I think the additive you are talking about is bacteria so I wouldn't be concerned about putting it directly into the tank. If you dose 2 part I would make sure it goes either in the sump or over flow. Let us know how the waste away works for you.

I used a combination of waste away, one and only and mb7 to seed my biopellet reactor. I still dose mb7 once a week ans cycled both my tanks with one and only. I've never had anything but positive results from using the stuff. Be careful with wasteaway though. It's pretty potent stuff. Over dosing has been known to drop O2 levels in tanks. Think dr points that out though.

Mine should be here tomorrow, I guess I should have ordered from Amazon instead of straight from the site.
