Hi Randy,
Just wanted to double check my math before I make up my solution. I posted on another thread about potassium and some of my millepora (including my red planet). I isolated it down to Seachem Flourish Potassium. Dosing just 2ppm caused a number of my millepora to retract polyps and not look happy. So I'm making a solution of potassium chloride as follows:
Using Now Potassium Chloride powder, it says that 700mg will provide 365mg Potassium. From that I'm trying to create 500ml of solution that will increase my 220g net volume system (833 L) by 2ppm for each 20ml I dose.
Given that, I think I need 2mg/L * 833L, 1666mg P per 20ml. Converting to the powder amount, I need 700mg Powder/365mg P*1666mg P, or 3194 mg Powder per 20ml. This equates to 79.9g plus enough water to make 500ml.
Is that correct?
Thanks,
Matt
