I need a math genius to make sure I figured this out correctly. I am planning on having a automatic water changing system on this build and if everything goes right I will do this on my other tanks as well. I am looking at using a BRS 50ml dosing pump.

This is the info as follows:
10% water change divided by 155 gallons = 15.5 gallons/week or 2.21 gallons/day
55 gallon salt mix divided by 2.21 gallon/day = 24.8 days before refill
1 gallon = 3785.41 ml
2.21 gallon/day = 8365.76 ml/day
8365.76ml/day divided by 12 doses/day = 697.15ml/dose
697.15ml/dose divided by dosing pump operation of 50ml/min = 13.94 min

so if I am correct in saying this, if I dose every 2 hours 697.15ml the pumps will run for 13.94 min???????
can anyone concur this for me please

its been awhile since I have posted anything up on the forums and all so I think its time for a quick update..........

been in the middle of a 2 frag tank build and setting up the wifes 90 gallon but after a long slow road traveled I am making some headway.
this pic was takin in a rush due to several people asking for updates, acros are growing real good, and my mystery coral, that I don't even know what it is has tripled in size over the last 3 months. better pics will come of the 185 as well as of my frag tanks, 90, and mangrove wall to come
