If you're talking Rid-X, try about an ounce, to start with. If that
doesn't do it, try 2 ounces. Don't drain your tank completely dry, and
don't flush it out after the initial couple of cycles of dunp, good rinse
and dump to get rid of all the formaldehyde junk. If you've been using
bacterial and enzyme stuff for a while, and it worked, an ounce after
dumping will probably keep you good.
One ounce is about 1 2/3 Tbsp. If what you have is a tablespoon measure,
use 2 tablespoons or 1 heaping Tbsp, cause it's easier.

Thanks for the link to an informative article and info. I don't think I've used a tank treatment product that had formaldehyde in it since the 70s. That's one thing that I've always tried to avoid since we have a septic tank at home and one at our lake (cottage) house.
