In a 90G 55ml. should be safe. I dose 50ml in mt 75G. After trying both methods, I prefer the spot treatment with the syringe. If your tank is not terribly infested you don't have to treat every day. I spot treat as much as I can with 50ml, then wait a couple days for the treated areas to turn red, which gives me a visual indication of what areas have been missed. Then treat the missed areas. Repeat this as many times as necessary.
Always turn off all circulation when doing the spot treatment to extend the contact time of the excel with the affected areas. Turn it back on after 5-10 minutes.
Also a small tip: when refilling the syringe be sure that the back side of the syringe is empty of water or you will progressively dilute the excel in the container as you draw back the syringe.
