It’s 1/4 teaspoon per 40 gallons of water to my recollection

Ok tank you so much
Welcome to Reef2Reef!

I prefer not to use volume to weigh material, as packing can really change the amount. Do you have a gram scale? That is pretty important. I bought one on Amazon for $18 that is really accurate.
The dose for prazi is 2.2 mg/l. Multiply 2.2 by exact gallons of water in the tank. Divide that by 266. The result is the number of grams of prazi to use.
Prazi is not very soluble. I press it through a fine brine shrimp netting or pantyhose to get it to disperse into the tank water.
