I purchased ammonium chloride 99.9% purity anhydrous.

I’m looking to make a solution with a known concentration so I can add a few drops as a N source. Not too strong. It’s just to add a little tiny bit because I don’t have fish in my coral QT, and adding fish food adds a lot of carbon in comparison to N.

How would I go about doing this?

I think I saw an ammonium dosing calculator link awhile back, but can't seem to find it. I have been using Randy's post below to calculate my own amounts.

 

Going off the ledge: Would you be interested in a drop off aquarium?
