Doesn't really matter what size the bath is . What you want to achieve is a light purple colour

[jast]

Just enough to slightly colour the water

[sandy25]

When I use them I find it easiest to add a small pinch at a time till I aquire the desired colour (some say pinkish some say purplish) I tend to err on the pink side .Only a very small amount is needed so be careful with your pinches. Hope this helps .

all the best

It's an antifungal compound that will get rid of their athletes foot !! Or if in the drinker can in theory prevent canker.

I have great belief in this stuff ,used away back in the early wars Napoleanic etc as an antiseptic ,also used in water pureification a little in the drinker stops cross contamination when and if you think one of your birds look poorly IMO !!

Water purifier. Add two or three crystals per litre of water and stir until the colour is light pink. Allow the mixture to stand for at least thirty minutes and you have drinking water in an emergency. If possible, filter the water and also boil it.

Antiseptic: Add crystals in water and stir until it is purple. This mixture can be used to disinfect wounds as well as for fungus problems i.e. Athletic foot and other external infections.

Its described as a very mild antiseptic, to much in the water might stain the feathers esp. white flights, don't really know if it is

of any benefit to the birds. I know it was once used to put colour into fireworks.
