Dosing for Interceptor

Hi, All.

So I'm about to dose Interceptor. I have the 51-100lb pill and 65gallons of water volume. I know the 51-100lb pill is good for 380 gallons. I wanted to post my dosing ammount andn have someone just check my math.

Disclaimer: The way I am dosing I will waste Inteceptor. Note, I am not interested in keeping or saving the excess medication so.

Here's what I am going to do.

I have 65 gallons of water volume.
380/65gallons is 5.86, so let's round that to 6.

That means, one pill is good for 6 doses.

I will dissolve one full pill in 6oz or RODI water.
I will use 1oz of the solution in the tank.
I will toss the remaining 5oz.
I will repeat this in 7 days.

What do you guys think?

Let me know,
Joey

It’s not a big deal to over dose a bit... why not just cut the pil into quarters , use one quarter now and another quarter in a week... and a third dose isn’t such a bad idea either, a week down the road..
Otherwise your math seems fine to me..
