According to the BRS website, Reef Factory Minerals dosage is based on PPM. But if you look at the Reef Factory website as well as every other vendor website selling Reef Factory minerals I checked, the dosage is based on ug/L. The actual dosage is the same on both websites and is in ml. Since 1 ppm = 1000 ug/L, either the BRS dosage is grossly under dosing or Reef Factory guidelines are grossly over dosing. I emailed @Bulk Reef Supply for clarification but got no response. Am I missing something?

Here is BRS dosage of Lithium from their website

To be honest, there is never any reason to dose lithium. It has no known need in any organism.
 
That is a serious disconnect. You might post it in the BRS forum here.
Agreed. I'll post it over there and see if I get a response.

I just used Lithium as an example. They have all of the Reef Factory Elements dosage based on ppm instead of ug/l
