Uronema and cp

[psionicdragon]

Hello

Been rereading the cp thread and I wasn’t sure if I passed the info.

In the past, it was advised to treat uronema for 80mg/g and for 30 days.

looking at humblefishs write up, I didn’t see the 80mg and 30 day treatment.

what dosage and duration should I go through?

Have you seen my article on Uronema? It is posted in the R2R article section here:

The trouble is, there does not seem to be any current supplier of Chloroquine in the US at the moment.

Hi Jay!

I have and it was very informative. I am trying to figure out how much to dose to get to the ppm level in your article. Would you have any insight on the dosage mg/g?

I still have CP that I can use for treatment.

The standard way to calculate dose is the actual tank volume in US gallons multiplied by the target dose in ppm (or mg/l) and then divide that by 266 to gets grams of medication to use. So, let’s say you want to dose a tank that holds 100 gallons of water at 15 ppm. That is 100*15/266= 5.64 grams
