Aquarium water conditioner !!!

When I regularly mixed up a batches of sodium or calcium thio, I'd put 500 grams of dry sodium thiosulfate into a gal of DI water, put the jug on the stirrer, and let if stir until dissolved. After done, I'd divide into 1 liter bottles for easy of pouring.
Then 2 drops of the mixture per gallon of new tank water, per each ppm of chlorine detected, or after a time and experience, a bloop in my 150 gal tank during a water change.
To experiment and find the right bloop per water change, I either used a pool type test strip, or if in the lab, a DPD analyzer until a norm dose per water change was obvious.

From a past post of mine, same basic info as Duane, with a slightly different twist to volume and measurements.
Recipe:
Make a solution consisting of 4 ounces (1/4 lb) Sodium Thiosulfate crystals dissolved in 1 gallon of distilled or deionized water. Use 5 ml (1 teaspoon) of the solution for each 10 gallons of makeup water to neutralize up to 3.75 ppm chlorine. One cup can be used for each 500 gallons. (The entire one gallon of solution will treat about 7500 gallons of tap water.) The shelf life of the solution is about six months when stored in a cool location. The crystals will keep for several years if kept dry.
