I know I'm probably beating this thing to death, but I really just want to understand what I'm doing rather then just following a recipe.
Using Chucks calculator I have come up with these values:
I'll just take Potassium as an example.
Mixing a solution of 10 tsp into 500 ml of water gives me a solution. And if I add 1 ml of this solution to a 29 gallon tank it will raise the concentration of K by .49 ppm.
Now, as far as dosing this into the tank. If my target is 20 ppm in the tank, and for this explanation we say that there is 0 ppm in the tank, should I add 41ml (20ppm/.49ppm = 40.81) three times a week? Or am I adding 13.6 ml three times a week (1/3)?
