I've been using Greg Watsons CSM with very satisfactory results.

I have also gotten his iron formula stuff, but have yet to use it. I don't know how to mix it. It says:
Mix 3.53 ounces to make 1 litre

So, having been a former chef, I am familiar with mixing ingredients, but stymied by 3.53 ounces. So if 2Tbl equals once ounce, that would be 7 tablespoons for a litre, which is maybe a quart or a little less.

And then add about 1ml for about ten gallons, vary according to tank requirements. Yes?

Interesting stuff.

It looks like I answered my own question

If 2 Tablespoons does indeed weigh an ounce I see no reason why your math doesn't work. I would suggest halving the recipe and making 500 ml at a time unless you dose iron a lot for a large tank. You don't want the solution to sit around for long periods of time or it can get funky.

I was watching a cooking show this weekend, LOL; and that said a dry measure of one cup of flour would use a 'one-cup' measuring cup.

And a wet measure of one cup of water, would use a 'pyrex' measuring cup and fill with 8 ounces.

First time I heard that.
But who knows. I don't have a scale to measure 3.5 ounces.
