Had a bad case of BBA. This stuff really worked well after I jacked up the dosage a bit. Ive got a 29g tank. Been adding about 3 1/2 caps a day. Do I taper off? Or, keep the current recipe? Thanks.

Be careful I've read too much can kill fish. I've been using it myself adding a cap full every other day also decided to keep light on for feeding for about a week to see what will happen. Hopefully my Amazon Swords don't die.
 
Oddly enough, my plants are thriving. Getting a little more green spot algae. The BBA is falling off plants and driftwood and piling up on the gravel. The snails are still alive, too.

That's great to hear.
 
I think I’m going to back off to 2 caps a day. Hopefully, drop it all together. It’s not cheap. smells like I’m throwing anti-freeze into the tank. It was ugly before Tho.
