Can any math wizards check my calculations?
I'm Looking into dosing Red Sea Trace Colors D (Bioactive Elements), which says to dose based on their Calcium+ uptake.
But I use Seachem Reef Advantage Calcium, specifically at a rate of 0.47tsp per day.
Seachem Reef Advantage says 5g (1 tsp) will raise the Ca level of 150 liters (40 gal) by 12ppm.
My utilization of 0.47tsp per day equates to 12ppm x 0.47tsp = 5.64ppm Ca uptake per day.
Red Sea Calcium+ Powder says 1g will raise the Ca level of 100 liters (25 gal) by 3.6ppm
Equates to 1.6g will raise the Ca level of 150 liters (40 gal) by 3.6ppm, or 0.4444g/ppm
So get to my 5.64ppm Ca uptake per day, but with Calcium+ instead of Reef Advantage Calcium, I would need 5.64ppm Ca uptake per day x 0.4444g/ppm = 2.51g Calcium+ powder
Red Sea Bioactive Elements says to dose 3.6ml for every 20g of Calcium+ powder, or 0.18ml/g
So I would need to dose 2.51g x 0.18ml/g = 0.452ml of Bioactive Elements per day.
