Hi Randy,
Am I doing something wrong with my math?
I want to make 1L of NH3 where I can dose 5ml into my 60 gallon tank providing about 1.5mg/L (1.5ppm) of NH3 for the tank.
Here is my math:
add 200mg of NH4Cl which has 32% NH3 so 200mg x 0.32=64 g/L
If I put the whole 1L of solution in my tank my NH3 level should be:
64g/L x 1gal/3.785L x 1/60 gallon=0.284g/L or 284mg/L of NH3 in my tank
Now if I divide 284mg/L by 1000mL, I would get 0.284mg/mL concentration.
Does this look right?
For every 1ml of solution I add into my 60 gallon tank, I would be 0.284mg of NH3 in my tank?
Sorry, haven't done this kind of math in over 30 years....
Thank you.
