PPM conversion?

[UNIT-344]

I am going to start a fishless cycle in a few days. I have a 44 gallon tank. So how much is actually 4ppm. How to i measure this accurately?

I forgot where I found it, but theres a calculator somewhere on the internet that has you enter in your tank size, and strength of ammonia. Then it will tell you how much you ammonia to pour in. Try googling it if no one else says anything. I cycled a 29 gallon so Im not sure how much you will need.

I actually just found it. You only need to fill the bottom out. http://www.fishforums.net/aquarium-calculator.htm

How do you know how much PPM to add? Can someome explain what I would put for a 36g?

Hello Unit...

1 ppm is equal to one drop in 13.3 gallons. So, 4 ppm would be the dosage in a bit more than 53 gallons.

Hope this helps.
