Reef Code powder dosing

[snowmansnow]

Double check me on this please
The instructions say:
Create a stock solution by dissolving 60g of Reef Cōde in 8 fl. Oz of water.
Each ml of the solution will increase the alk of 1 gallon of water by 2.1dkh.

Soooooo

I want to mix a gallon up at a time

There are 128oz in 1 g
I’m suppose to add 60g of ReefCode every 8 oz
So
128/8=13.5
Therefore I’d add 60g 13.5 x to 1 gallon for 1110g
Per gallon... right?

It’s been a long day ha

60×13.5=810

 

[snowmansnow]

where did i get 1110 from ?

 

[snowmansnow]

So I need to mix 810g of the powder to 1 gallon to make the solution correct? (Provided I got the directions right haha)

128÷8=16

So you need 60g×16=960

Instructions and Guidelines: Create a stock solution by dissolving 60 grams of REEF CODE B-P in 8-fl. oz. of purified fresh water; each ml of the solution will increase the alkalinity in 1 US-gallon (3.785 L) of water by ~2.1 dKH (0.75 meq/L). [Reference: Each g of REEF CODE B-P will increase the alkalinity in 1 US-gallon (3.785 L) of water by ~8.3 dKH (3 meq/L).] If initial alkalinity in the aquarium is below 7 dKH (2.5 meq/L), add stock sol’n at maximum rate of 10 ml per 20 US-gallons daily until desired alkalinity is attained, then dose daily or weekly as needed (see below)
