Pima and melafix pond dosage in aquarium?

[pdbrady]

Ok, so I've read on here that the pond versions of these can be used in the aquarium. The pond pima contains like 2% of the active ingredient (pima-blah-blah-whatever it is), while the aquarium only contains 1%. So would I just cut the pond dose in half to equal that of the aquarium version, or is the pond just safe to add as is? Same with the melafix, except it's 1% in aquarium version, and like 5% in pond. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just follow the manufacturers recommendation...it says right on the bottle...
I use the pond stuff in my aquarium and it's a different dosage, but works the same...

Pond-
MelaFix 8 oz treats up to 2,400 gallons.
PimaFix 16 oz treats up to 2,400 gallons
Aquarium -
MelaFix 8 oz treats 480 gallons
PimaFix 8 oz doses 400 gallons.

That's basically what I was asking. Thanks.

And you know about the "removing the carbon" thing?

Sorry, I hadn't noticed you had replied. Yeah, I know. I don't use it anyway.
