So I have undetectable Manganese in my tank from my latest ICP.
I have the ingredients but my maths is shocking and I don't want to get this wrong.
I'd like to bring the value up to 0.9 ug/l or 1.0 ug/l if it won't harm the tank. 0.88 is the value listed to aim for...
Tank volume is 350 US Gallons
What I'd like to do is skip the last dilution to the 100ml part if possible and dose straight from the 1000ml 280 ug/l bottle.
Thanks
Edit: Is it 4.25ml ?

Manganese(II) chloride tetrahydrate is 28% manganese by weight.
Here's a recipe:
Dissolve 1 gram in 100o mL (grams) fresh water. Manganese = 280 ppm.
Take 1 mL (1 g) of that mix and dissolve in 1000 mL of fresh water. Mn = 0.28 ppm (=280 ug/L).
Add 1 mL of that to 100 mL of fresh water. Mn = 2.8 ug/L
Add 13.5 mL of that to 100 gallons of tank water. Conc boost to tank = 0.1 ug/L Mn.
