Wow, how big is your tank? I was told to put 1/3 of the recommended dosage on the package (I think it said 1 tablet per 10gal?), so 2 tabs worked in my 70gal. They told me I could always dose again after a few days, if the first dosage wasnt enough.

You want to use it sparingly, because Maracyn IS an anti-biotic. And with all anti-biotics (even for humans), the bacteria that you're trying to kill can adapt and become immune to it over time. So if you give it a big dosage now, down the road it could come back worse than ever.

Plus it would take longer to get it all out of your system. I couldnt wait to get my skimmer started again, but it was still overfilling after 4 days. Took a few water changes before things got back to normal.

I know I have a bit of a overfeeding problem,... that the nature of cylopeeze though.
