A 10g wont take very much ...but depending on the stregth of the ammonia it will vary.

Just start with a few drops (4-5) then give it about an hour to mix well and test.... then you can pretty much judge how much it will take from there by what the few drops you put in did. Just keep adding and testing as needed to get it to around 4 or 5ppm
