A chemist friend of mine created a spreadsheet to help me calculate the amount of ammonia needed to dose a tank. I posted it for someone here in a different thread but I thought I'd share it to help others too.
I'm going to code the variables with letters to make it easier. Here is the formula:
A = Percent Solution of Ammonia
B = Total gallons of water
C = Final Concentration of Ammonia Required (ppm)
D = Amount of Ammonia to Add (mL)
((C*(B*3.78541))/A)/1000 = D
So for a 90 gallon tank you would need 13.63ml of 10% ammonia to dose it to 4ppm.
(My janitorial strength ammonia is 10%)
Hope that helps!!! Let me know if you have questions. If you are interested and you private message me your email, I will send you the spreadsheet.
