4dKh = 1.43mEQ/L = 0.715mM CO3¯ ¯
1L*0.715mM*84mg/mmole=60.06mg baking soda per Liter 4dKH solution
6g/5L=28.57meq or 80dKH, dilute 10mL to 200mL for 4dKH (again, all assuming anhydrous baking soda).
I guess I'll have to do a Karl Fischer titration on a sample of the baking soda I have first, divide my intended weight of baking soda by my % baking soda (100%-%water).

Ahhhh... what? What language are you speaking?
This sounds like a very time consuming process, at least in mixing the solutions, which sounds as if is 90% of the work. I was just getting used to the system people on APC came up with of just turning your C02 down when your fish start gasping for air!
Could someone translate this whole process from begining to end in simple terms, "Drop checker C02 measurement for Dummies," for the ignorant working class people like myself, and then I can pass it along to my legions. I don't even know what a drop checker is, sorry! I never used one. A few years back, Cathy Hartland wrote a nice translation of the Sears and Conlin PMDD for me. I miss Cathy! Can someone take pity on me and write such a step by step instruction for my puny little mind?
