From what I'm reading it looks like I need less than 1/8th teaspoon of this stuff for about 40gal of water changed so where can I find such a tiny scoop? Ideas?
For those using Safe, where to find tiny little measuring spoon??

Don't most people premix a set amount and essentially make a bottle of prime? I've never used Safe.
I usually just eye it on an actual teaspoon....
guess i'm lazy. I like the idea of premixing it though.

I read on the Seachem forum that you're not supposed to premix it as the powdered version is stripped of all preservatives and what not to remain stable for a given length of time so you're not supposed to premix to use later.
I would just use a 1/4 tsp if you can not find 1/8tsp. Or fill the 1/4tsp half way. It will not matter if you are off a couple of drops.
you can get baking measuring spoons that measure Tad, Hint, Pinch, Smidge, and Drop. You can estimate with an 1/8 tsp to get to very small volumes like 10g
Yep, look at baking supplies for the more precise measuring spoons. As for the premixing I'm pretty sure someone has contacted seachem in the past and the official answer is that safe is not shelf stable premixed for more than a couple of days. It's pretty hard to overdose safe anyways, I use approx 1/2 tsp of it on my 110 with no negative effects so underfilling a 1/4 tsp should be fine for you.
You guys/gals must not have kids, or they don't get sick 
I have three kids so it's very frequent that I have to use the cups or droppers that come with bottled children/infant over-the-counter medicines. Or just go to any pharmacy store and ask for a dropper; it's free btw. It has 1/8 of a tsp measurement intervals.
