I believe ox gall will not work, it’s for pigment and acrylic based colorants such as acrylic paints and watercolors. But ox gall is not a dilution solution anyway, it’s an ink additive. It increases wetness by decreasing surface tension. It doesn’t decrease the overall dye load of the ink.

If you want to go the surfactant additive route, you could look at using Photo Flo, White Lightning, or FPR Railroad-X.
