Oh yes, and after this....all frags go in Q tank and get treated no matter what!

Eric Borneman reported using 10x that dosage with no ill effects. In fact his testing suggested that the dosage should be much higher than what I posted (Dustin Dortons treatment dosage). To be honest, at the beginning when I was treating I had access to a scale and measured it out exactly, however I don't have access to a decent scale so I was just taking a piece of the pill and grinding it up (ie. one pill does 380G so I'd use about a third of the pill or a little less). Its better to use more than less IMO.

For calculating the tank volume hmm, I found a calculator for that that calculates tank volume with sand and rock and stuff. Give me a bit and I'll find it for you
