I believe it's "10 gallon for each additional Figure 8."

Perhaps in the feeding section Krill should be listed as something to be fed sparingly since it is known to cause lockjaw.

It's only ASSUMED and suspected to cause lockjaw. There's no actual proof that it is the cause. A better phrasing would be that feeding Krill has been correlated/associated with lockjaw, because that's the most we know so far. :)
