How much alkalinity does BRS soda have in a 1 gallon mix?

[JCOLE]

I cannot find this anywhere. Does anyone know what is the meq/L of alkalinity total for a 1 gallon mix of BRS Soda ash?

I would assume one of @Randy Holmes-Farley articles covers this

Right from the article......" 1,900 meq/L of alkalinity (5,300 dKH)"

Yep you're right! Completely glossed over it when it said baking soda. SMH.

I currently use Reef Fusion 2 which has 4400 meq/l of Alk. The soda ash I am going to use is 1900 meq/l. Just so I am thinking about this right. The soda ash is weaker which would mean I need to dose more. I currently dose around 100-110ml of Reef Fusion daily.

4400/1900 = 2.31
2.31x100 = 231

Would it be safe to say I will be dosing around 231ml of Soda Ash to match what I dose of Reef Fusion?

You can use a calculator like this to compare needed doses of different products, including those two:
