Does it say on the package? I use 200ml for my 60g but they are different brand. When you start using them only start out with a fourth the recommend dose an slowly add more over a month until you reach the full dose.

From Aqua Caves post here on RC...
1)What quantity of biopellets will I need for my tank? 500ml per 100 gallons of net water volume.

As noted above, start with 1/4 of the recommended dose or you will have problems. I would actually raise it up over several months and don't go too quickly. Quadrupling the amount over a month seems fast to me, so take your time and do it slowly.
