[Note: Water Droppers, such as "eyedroppers" or "medicine droppers," vary in the size of their drops from different manufacturers. Therefore, this needs to be taken into consideration when using a dropper for dispensing in less than 10-gallon containers. In general it has been found
that the proper dose for 1 gallon of water when using droppers from U.S. drugstores is nearer to requiring 2 drops per gallon for a proper dose, being nearer to .25 mL than .5 mL. It may be found that "medicine droppers" that indicate on the side of the dispenser the amount of milliliters that it disperses per drop will be more accurate, requiring 1 drop per gallon.]

[Note: the copper ion Kordon Copper-Tru treatment is the most critical
of the Kordon treatments. This treatment should be measured as exactly as practical.
The measurement requirements for the water conditioners (including
the Kordon Amquels, NovAquas, Fish Protectors, PolyAquas), and the herbal water treatments (Ich Attack, Prevent Ich, and Fungus Rid), are
not required to be exact.]
