Hey @Humblefish im still waiting for my digital scale I know I need to dose 40-60mg per gallon. Is there a kitchen weight I can use to get in the ball park dosage, like a teaspoon or something? The CP I have is a 30gram container from Diamondback Drugs. Thanks!
Unfortunately, no. I don't believe a crude kitchen weight would provide an accurate dosage.
Milligrams are a unit of weight, while the teaspoon is a unit of volume. The number of teaspoons to grams differs depending on density of the substance. For example, 1 teaspoon of sugar is equivalent to about 4 grams, while 1 teaspoon of salt is about 6 grams.
CP is lighter than either of those.
Are you dosing in the bag water? lol
I gotta admit...I do it with difficult anemones (magnifica and gigantea) to get the antibiotics going.
I gotta second that. I would stay clear away from 80mg. I've been dosing 40-60mg with good results.

I've been dosing using "tsp" without issues. I do realize it's not highly accurate, but it's been reliable thus far. Fish are all doing very well. For 40/mg per gallon dosage = 1/8 tsp per 10/G.
I think it's 1/4 tsp per 10/g for 80mg dosage.
