Which recipe did you use?

by **gldntrmite** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 8:43 am

700 ltr / 3.785 = 185 gallon tank

Now you can use their chart that they provided to calculate how much you should add...

Here is a link to the calculator. http://home.comcast.net/~jdieck1/chemcalc.html
Test what you are dosing.

Yes, just use the chart based on the fact your tank is 185 gallons...

problem solved lads
I was putting in the formula for the wrong chemical and it was giving me a gram portion to add not a litre or gallon amount.
