I think dKH is the most widely used. Its pretty consistent through reef2reef and youtube videos, including brs, wwc and the like. I like it being read in its own format honestly.

I like to use ppm and meq/ L
Can’t do it

Thanks for the response Hans.The problem is, the measure of ppm in this case is just an "as if", Steve, an equivalent. It has nothing to do with what there really is in saltwater and it is just as outdated or even more so as dKH. Like Randy said, the only real thing would be to express it all as mmol/l or meq/l. The latter one is even better because it also takes into account the charge of the ions. You would see at once how much sodium, calcium, magnesium ions etc. must pair with chloride, sulfate or bicarbonate ions. The problem is, ppm and to a certain degree dKH are everyday units while mmol/l and meq/l contains two units which both are not very familiar to most US citizens. One liter is 0.6242 US gallons and mol or mmol has something to do with the Avogrado constant and is quite an abstract measure for most people. So I fear your revolution will get only a small demonstration.
