As I said, you only need a 1ppm concentration at most (i.e. 1mg of pure CuSO4 per liter) To give a rough idea, 1/4 teaspoon is 1 GRAM of powder form, slightly over 1.5 grams of "snow" form (grains that are shaped like rice, but smaller). That means 1/4 teaspoon of pure powder is enough to treat 1000 liters of water (yes, one-thousand).
hmm - so i guess itrw progressive dilution is the only way to go........

it is unbelievably cheap though iirc
