dosing copper powder

[sscg]

Hello! I'm kind of confused with the dosing instructions. I have a 20g long with 17 gallons of volume and I didn't predose 1ppm before puting the fish so now I'm planing on dosing it little by little like .25 each day, But I'm having a hard time trying to guess how much ml of copper powder do I need to raise .25 each day.

Let me know if you have any questions.

by my calculations you would need about 18ml of copper power for your 17gal volume to get it to roughly about 1.75 which is where you would want to be.
you can start by dosing about 8ml and then do 2ml in the morning and 2ml at night for a couple of days till you get to 18ml. you can raise it slower if you are sure you are not dealing with velvet. definitely test with an appropriate test kit preferably hanna tester.
