Received this in the mail today. The instructions say to add 1 level spoon (provided) for every 26 gallons of water. The spoon is probably no bigger than 1/32 tsp. Having a 5 gallon tank, it will be impossible to measure an accurate dose for my needs.

Can you over dose a tank with this product?

I just estimate it when I put it in my tank so you would be fine doing the same.

Same thing here. I estimate and haven't seen a problem yet

Very good. Thank you.

I accidentally overdosed and got cloudy water that looked like billowing white smoke. Cleared up after a water change and a few days of filtration. More is not better!

I err on the side of caution with a lot of these powdered supplements. I never do full amounts. I've actually had problems with some of them when dosing the 'required amount' that resulted in shrimp deaths. Purely a theory but I think because the spike in TDS jumps so high so quickly it can cause an issue for some.

I put in to much one time and tds jumped like 50ppm. I did a few water changes and all was well.

Please do not overdose.
A friend of mine accidentally drop a BT-9 bottle (all most full) into his 100G CRS tank. He lost the whole 1000+ shrimps colony plus all the snails. :/
